OpenAI has announced a new model of artificial intelligence that can think before answering - o3 mini. It should become much smarter than the previous o1 mini model. TechRadar writes about it.
The o1 models were designed to spend more time processing queries and preparing responses more thoroughly. The o3 mini is an update to the o1 mini, just as the o3 is an update to the o1, and should be much faster.
thank you to the external safety researchers who tested o3-mini.

we have now finalized a version and are beginning the release process; planning to ship in ~a couple of weeks.
also, we heard the feedback: will launch api and chatgpt at the same time!
(it's very good.)
The model will be available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and will be the golden mean between power and speed for users. As Sam Altman writes, it is worse in almost everything than the o1 pro, but it will be much faster.
worse than o1 pro at most things

o3 mini will be available in a couple of weeks both in ChatGPT and in a separate API for developers
