OpenAI o1 vs Terracotta

OpenAI has launched its new o1 models, offering ChatGPT users a unique chance to experience AI that pauses to "think" before it responds. These models, codenamed “Strawberry,” excel at reasoning and handling complex questions but come with a higher cost compared to GPT-4o.

While the o1 model introduces multi-step reasoning to break down large tasks and evaluate each step, its slower speed and lack of multimodal capabilities make GPT-4o the preferable choice for most simpler prompts. Designed for big questions, the o1 model aims to help users think through complicated decisions.

However, the higher expense due to additional "reasoning tokens" means users need to be cautious about overusing it for basic queries. Despite not living up to its pre-launch hype, the o1 model offers a glimpse into the future potential of AI in tackling complex problems.
