In addition to the chatgpt models we are used to, like GPT-4O, Openai has also developed “reasoning” models. In essence, these models have been designed for requests that require more reflection on the part of artificial intelligence, such as requests related to mathematics, for example. The first models of Openai reasoning, O1 and O1-Mini, were launched in 2024. And the new generation, O3 and O3-Mini, is already being deployed.
As mentioned in a previous article, the O3 model is the basis of the in -depth research functionality that Openai has just launched. As for O3-Mini, it is already available for users of the paid version of Chatgpt. This replaces the O1-Mini model on the chatgpt model selector. But even with a free account, you can test the new O3 Mini reasoning model. “This is the first time that a reasoning model has been made available to free chatgpt users”Openai announced a few days ago.
To use O3-Mini free of charge, simply open Chatgpt, and activate the “Reason” button which is under the text field.
What is O3-Mini for?
Thanks to their particular skills, OpenAi reasoning models are able to provide better results for questions related to areas such as mathematics, computer coding, or even scientific questions. And, according to the explanations of Openai, the O1 model remains its “The widest general knowledge reasoning model”. For his part, “O3-minini provides a specialized alternative for technical fields requiring precision and speed.” This also offers a compromise between speed and precision, while providing a “An average reasoning effort”.
In any case, regardless of your field, you can today test this model for free to know if the reasoning capacity can bring you more in your use of chatgpt.
- OPENAI recently presented O3-Mini, a new version of its reasoning model, which is able to better manage mathematics, coding or science issues
- And for the first time, the company offers this model of reasoning to users of the free version
- O3-minini is a reasoning model that has been optimized for speed and costs
