OpenAI on Friday shared benchmark scores of its O3 series of artificial intelligence (AI) models. As the successor to the recently released O1 series of AI models, the company claimed that the O3 far surpasses the capabilities of the older version. The series consists of two models, the O3 and O3-Mini, and focuses on advanced logic-based functions. Currently, AI models are being made available for public security testing, and the O3-mini model will be launched into the public domain early next year. Notably, the OpenAI announcement comes just days after Google released the Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Mode AI model.
OpenAI shares benchmark scores of O3 series AI models
On day 12 of the AI firm’s 12-day shipping schedule, OpenAI announced the O3 series, the successor to the O1 AI model. During a live stream, CEO Sam Altman highlighted that the o2 name was removed due to UK telecommunications service provider Telefónica which uses the same brand name.
OpenAI highlighted that despite the announcement, the models will not currently be available in the public domain. The company has begun providing both O3 and O3-mini in early access to selected external researchers for public safety testing. Those interested in participating in this process can apply here. The application process ends on January 10.
The company highlighted that both o3 series AI models will be more powerful than their predecessors, and will be able to perform more complex tasks in coding, mathematics, and natural language processing. However, the full range of its capabilities was not revealed.
Additionally, OpenAI shared some benchmark evaluations of o3 AI models during internal testing. The company claimed that the O3 scored 71.7 percent in the SWE-Bench benchmark and 96.7 percent in the AIME 2024 benchmark, surpassing the o1. However, full benchmark evaluation will be possible only when the models are available in the public domain. The O3-mini is expected to launch in January 2025.
OpenAI offers unlimited access to Sora to paid subscribers
Separately, as a “day-13 bonus”, Altman announced in an Will get it. The CEO highlighted that this was possible because offices were closed during the Christmas period resulting in reduced server load.
Rohan Sahay, product lead at OpenAI, added in the post and said the company has upgraded Sora’s Blend feature and enabled share links so users can share AI-generated videos with friends, regardless of whether they have an account. Don’t be.
