OpenAI has launched a extra highly effective model of its o1 “reasoning” AI mannequin, o1-pro, in its developer API.
In line with OpenAI, o1-pro makes use of extra computing than o1 to offer “constantly higher responses.” At the moment, it’s solely obtainable to pick out builders — those that’ve spent at the least $5 on OpenAI API providers — and it’s expensive. Very expensive.
OpenAI is charging $150 per million tokens (~750,000 phrases) fed into the mannequin and $600 per million tokens generated by the mannequin. That’s twice the worth of OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 for enter and 10x the worth of standard o1.
OpenAI is betting that o1-pro’s improved efficiency will persuade builders to pay these princely sums.
“O1-pro within the API is a model of o1 that makes use of extra computing to suppose more durable and supply even higher solutions to the toughest issues,” an OpenAI spokesperson informed TechCrunch. “After getting many requests from our developer neighborhood, we’re excited to carry it to the API to supply much more dependable responses.”
But early impressions of o1-pro, which has been obtainable in OpenAI’s AI-powered chatbot platform ChatGPT for ChatGPT Professional subscribers since December, weren’t extremely constructive. O1—professional struggled with Sudoku puzzles, customers discovered, and was tripped up by easy optical phantasm jokes.
Moreover, sure OpenAI inside benchmarks from late final 12 months confirmed that o1-pro carried out solely barely higher than the usual o1 on coding and math issues.
