Two weeks ago, CEO Openai Sam Altman revealed that O3-mini will be released “within the next few weeks”. On punctuality, today Openai officially launched this latest argument model in the company’s chatgpt and API service. Notably, this is also the first time a version of this model has been provided for free for users chatgpt with a limit of use frequency.

Chatgpt O3-Mini: Outstanding performance, faster speed

O3-mini was first announced in the “12-day ship-mas” event of Openai in December 2024. This model is designed to achieve the equivalent performance of O1 in the fields of mathematics, programming and science, but has a significant faster response speed. According to Openai, O3-mini can respond 24% faster than O1-mini, while improving the accuracy of the answer.

A special feature of O3-mini is that it not only gives results but also shows the problem solving, similar to the previous O1-mini. This helps users better understand how to think and give the answer.

Openai has also published some early benchmark results, showing that O3 surpasses O1 in many programming and thinking problems, while reducing costs and latency when used. Developers can take advantage of O3-mini through the API of Openai, including Chat Completions API, Assistans API and Batch API.

The highlights of O3-mini

• Faster response speed: O3-mini is 24% faster than O1-mini, which helps improve interaction experience, especially when handling complex queries.
• Higher accuracy: This model has been upgraded to solve math, programming and handling better scientific tasks, while displaying the problem solving instead of giving results.
• Lower cost, higher performance: Compared to O1-Mini, O3-Mini has lower costs and decreasing latency, helping businesses and developers have more optimal options.
• Free for users chatgpt: This is the first time Openai has provided an advanced argument model for free users, with the same frequency limit of GPT-4O.
• Advanced version-O3-Mini-HIGH: Users pay (chatgpt plus, team, Pro) can access O3-mini-high, an optimal version for programmers, help write codes, fix errors and optimize code more effectively.
• Search for web search: O3-mini can search on the web and provide results with source links, making information more reliable.
• Integrated into the ecosystem Microsoft: This model has been integrated into Microsoft Azure Openai Service, GitHub Copilot, and AI models on GitHub, widely supported the programmer.

Paid chatgpt users can also choose O3-mini-Hgh, an advanced version with more deep analysis and arguments, especially optimal for programming tasks. However, this model has a longer response due to complex calculation requirements.
