💻 OpenAI drops o1 and Pro Mode

OpenAI just shook things up with the launch of its full o1 model and a premium $200/m ChatGPT Pro plan, kicking off its "12 Days of OpenAI" event with a bang.

The Details:

• Sharper and Faster: The full o1 excels at image analysis and handles complex queries 34% more accurately, with significantly fewer errors compared to its preview version.

• Pro Mode Perks: The $200/m Pro plan unlocks unlimited o1 access, GPT-4o, Advanced Voice, and future high-powered features. The exclusive o1 Pro Mode offers a massive 128k context window and enhanced reasoning capabilities for tough problems.

• Live Demo: OpenAI showcased o1 Pro solving advanced thermodynamics and chemistry problems, proving its power in action.

• Mixed Performance: Oddly, the full o1 lags behind its preview version on select benchmarks, but both outshine the older 4o model by a wide margin.

• Rollout: Full o1 is now available for Plus and Team users, with Enterprise and Education access coming next week.

Why It Matters:

OpenAI is making waves with its holiday event opener. The full o1 and Pro mode bring serious upgrades for power users ready to tackle intensive tasks. While the $200 price tag is steep, the enhanced capabilities could justify the leap for those craving cutting-edge AI tools.
