OpenAI’s new o1 models push AI to PhD-level intelligence

[LevelUP]

It might sound simple, but one thing ChatGPT had trouble with was reviewing its responses for accuracy before generating a bunch of text.

For example, if you asked ChatGPT a simple question like, "How many characters will be in your response?" it couldn't give you an accurate answer until the o1-preview update.

I encountered similar issues when I wanted a response restricted to a specific set of conditions. It wouldn't give me what I asked for, and I’d have to provide another prompt to fix it. It would say something like, "I'm sorry, here's the fix," but the fix still wasn’t accurate. However, this new version finally works as expected.

Given that ChatGPT can take up to around 2 minutes to process certain queries, I wonder if this level of precision and depth will one day become a premium feature for researchers, possibly costing $1,000 or more?
