One thing that makes me skeptical is the lack of specific labels on the first two accuracy graphs. They just say it's a "log scale", without giving even a ballpark on the amount of time it took. Did the 80% accuracy test results take 10 seconds of compute? 10 minutes? 10 hours? 10 days? It's impossible to say with the data they've given us. The coding section indicates "ten hours to solve six challenging algorithmic…

When one axis is on log scale and the other is linear with the plot points appearing linear-ish, doesn't it mean there's a roughly exponential relationship between the two axis?

The model performance is driven by chain of thought, but they will not be providing chain of thought responses to the user for various reasons including competitive advantage. After the release of GPT4 it became very common to fine-tune non-OpenAI models on GPT4 output. I’d say OpenAI is rightly concerned that fine-tuning on chain of thought responses from this model would allow for quicker reproduction of their resu…

When are they going to change the name to reflect their complete change of direction?

Also, what is going to be their excuse to defend themselves against copyright lawsuits if they are going to "understandably" keep their models closed?

No, this is just how Microsoft names things.

We'll know the Microsoft takeover is complete when OpenAI release Ai.net.

Given the significant chain of thought tokens being generated, it also feels a bit odd to hide it from a cost fairness perspective. How do we believe they aren't inflating it for profit?

That sounds like the GPU labor theory of value that was debunked a century ago.

My first interpretation of this is that it's jazzed-up Chain-Of-Thought. The results look pretty promising, but i'm most interested in this: > Therefore, after weighing multiple factors including user experience, competitive advantage, and the option to pursue the chain of thought monitoring, we have decided not to show the raw chains of thought to users. Mentioning competitive advantage here signals to me that OpenA…

>my gut reaction is this negatively impacts model usability, but i'm having a hard time putting my finger on why. If the model outputs an incorrect answer due to a single mistake/incorrect assumption in reasoning, the user has no way to correct it as it can't see the reasoning so can't see where the mistake was.

Maybe CriticGPT could be used here [0]. Have the CoT model produce a result, and either automatically or upon user request, ask CriticGPT to review the hidden CoT and feed the critique into the next response. This way the error can (hopefully) be spotted and corrected without revealing the whole process to the user.

Day dreaming: imagine if this architecture takes off and the AI "thought process" becomes hidden and private much like human thoughts. I wonder then if a future robot's inner dialog could be subpoenaed in court, connected to some special debugger, and have their "thoughts" read out loud in court to determine why it acted in some way.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

so o1 seems like it has real measurable edge, crushing it in every single metric, i mean 1673 elo is insane, and 89th percentile is like a whole different league, and it looks like it's not just a one off either, it's consistently performing way better than gpt-4o across all the datasets, even in the ones where gpt-4o was already doing pretty well, like math and mmlu, o1 is just taking it to the next level, and the f…

> like what's it doing differently, is it just a matter of more training data or is there something more going on Well, the model doesn't start with "GPT", so maybe they have come up with something better.

It sounds like GPT-4o with a long CoT prompt no ?

Sounds great, but so does their "new flagship model that can reason across audio, vision, and text in real time" announced in May. [0] [0] https://openai.com/index/hello-gpt-4o/

This one [o1/Strawberry] is available. I have it, though it's limited to 30 messages/week in ChatGPT Plus.

The progress in AI is incredibly depressing, at this point I don't think there's much to look forward to in life. It's sad that due to unearned hubris and a complete lack of second-order thinking we are automating ourselves out of existence. EDIT: I understand you guys might not agree with my comments. But don't you thinking that flagging them is going a bit too far?

It seems opposite to me. Imagine all the amazing technological advancements, etc. If there wasn't something like that what would you be looking forward to? Everything would be what it has already been for years. If this evolves it helps us open so many secrets of the universe.

That's unfortunate. When an LLM makes a mistake it's very helpful to read the CoT and see what went wrong (input error/instruction error/random shit)

Yeah, exposed chain of thought is more useful as a user, as well as being useful for training purposes.
