OpenAI today introduced their latest reasoning models, the o3 and o4-mini models. With this offering, it positions the o3 model as the most powerful reasoning model by OpenAI to date, while the o4-mini is a model that offers better results at a low price for developers.
With reasoning capabilities, these models will perform several steps of thinking in answering or solving a matter, while ensuring that the answer or final result provided is the best. This is also very useful in answering several question contexts, including involving mathematics, science, research and so on. This model support is also better for programming use.
In addition to text, the o3 and o4-mini models also offer support for the ability to analyze images uploaded to them, thus facilitating analysis such as diagrams, flowcharts, graphs, and so on.
With this introduction, paid ChatGPT users can access the o3 and o4-mini models starting today. Moving forward, OpenAI is ready to express its intention to integrate all the different models under one, starting with the introduction of GPT-5.
