OpenAI’s Next AI Leap 🚀 Have you heard about Op...
OpenAI has released O3. I would love to give you a complete teardown, but the truth is almost nobody has it. They're opening it up to security and safety researchers only, as of today. It is a new reasoning model. It is apparently much, much better than O1. In particular, it is three times better at learning new tasks, apparently. And it is so good that some researchers who have played with it are talking about it as, not reaching, but approaching artificial general intelligence, which would be the bar where an autonomous system could solve tasks and do economically valuable work better than humans. We will see. OpenAI has plans, they say, to release a mini version, which is dumber, but still smarter than O1, in January. And then after that, the full version, they say. They need to complete safety training on it first. So what does this mean? Well, first, understand that this is not going to be cheap. I was looking at some of the costs associated with the tests that were run for the benchmarking. And when you're running the full O3 model, it can run to $1,000 a task. I want to ask you, the last time you chatted with Chad GPT, were you ready to pay $1,000 for the answer that you got? There are going to be some scientific problems where if you can get an answer that's better than the smartest human researcher, you would pay $1,000 for it, easily. But for a lot of us, that's not going to be what we use AI for. And so I think one of the interesting moments in 2025 is that intelligence is going to get to a point where it will be very, very useful for specific applications. It will be very expensive. And many of us will opt for a cheaper form of intelligence to aid us in our work. So I'm excited to see what O3 can do, but we're all going to have to wait together to find out what that looks like. In the meantime, apparently, we have a model that is approaching general intelligence in certain areas, and that's certainly an exciting day for the world. Cheers.
