Reasoning models

o3-mini

o3-mini is tailored for advanced logical analysis and STEM reasoning. It is great for:

1. For writers, who want to ensure their content is not only creative, but also factually structured and logically sound. It's especially useful when you need:

   • Clear outlines
   • Bulletproof arguments in analytical articles
   • Technical write-ups

2. For students, who need assistance with complex STEM subjects, including:

   • Mathematics problem-solving
   • Scientific concept explanations
   • Coding assignments and programming challenges
   • Research-level academic challenges

3. For developers, who can leverage its specialized capabilities such as:

   • Function calling
   • Structured Outputs
   • Developer messages
   • Software engineering tasks
   • Competitive coding solutions

4. For professionals, who need fast, accurate reasoning in technical domains:

   • Reduced latency compared to other models
   • Adjustable reasoning effort options (low, medium, high) to balance speed and accuracy
   • PhD-level science problem-solving
   • General knowledge capabilities across various domains

The model delivers exceptional performance while maintaining cost-efficiency and speed, making it ideal for tasks requiring precision in technical fields.

o1

OpenAI's o1 is tailored for complex reasoning tasks that require careful thinking before responding, particularly excelling in science, mathematics, and programming challenges. Unlike previous models that immediately generate answers, o1 creates extensive "chains of thought" before providing final responses.

It is great for:

1. For researchers and academics, who want PhD-level expertise in scientific disciplines. It is specifically useful when:

   • Solving complex physics, chemistry, and biology problems that require deep analytical thinking
   • Working through advanced mathematical challenges (performs at 89th percentile on competitive math exams)
   • Developing rigorous scientific analysis with step-by-step reasoning

2. For programmers, who want sophisticated coding assistance, including:

   • Tackling challenging programming tasks (ranked in 89th percentile in Codeforces competitions)
   • Generating high-quality code solutions for complex problems
   • Debugging and improving existing code with more sophisticated reasoning

3. For students and educators, who want enhanced learning support in STEM fields:

   • Breaking down complex scientific and mathematical concepts
   • Learning through detailed explanations that show the thinking process
   • Receiving high-quality tutoring in advanced concepts

4. For professionals, who want a reasoning assistant that can:

   • Adhere more reliably to safety rules and guidelines in prompts
   • Provide more accurate results on complex reasoning tasks
   • Generate well-thought-out responses rather than immediate answers

Note: While o1 offers superior reasoning capabilities, it typically requires more computing time and power than other GPT models due to its extensive "thinking" process before responding. That is why it is one of the most expensive models offered by BrowseWiz.
