OpenAI announces new o3 model

On Friday, OpenAI released its next-generation inference model o3, the latest version of the o1 "inference" model launched earlier this year. Like o1, o3 is a family of models; o3-mini is a smaller streamlined model specifically fine-tuned for certain tasks.

OpenAI claims that under certain conditions at least, o3 can approach achieving AGI. OpenAI President Greg Brockman stated that our latest inference model o3 is a breakthrough with step function improvements on our most difficult benchmarks. We are now starting safety testing and red team drills.
