OpenAI's reasoning models just got two useful updates
If you're someone who leans on ChatGPT for tackling complex tasks like coding, math, or even planning out detailed itineraries, you'll be thrilled to know that OpenAI has rolled out some nifty updates to its o1 and o3-mini reasoning models. These little tweaks are set to make your ChatGPT experience even more seamless and helpful.
By the way, have you checked out the three side hustles that OpenAI's Operator just made possible? They're easy to get started with!
OpenAI took to X to share that both o1 and o3-mini now support file and image uploads within ChatGPT. This feature is a game-changer because it lets the chatbot dive into your everyday resources, be it a photo, document, graph, or PDF. Imagine the possibilities:
Two updates you'll like—
📁 OpenAI o1 and o3-mini now support both file & image uploads in ChatGPT
⬆️ We raised o3-mini-high limits by 7x for Plus users to up to 50 per day
— OpenAI (@OpenAI) February 12, 2025
With these new capabilities, the sky's the limit. You can upload a long research paper, and ChatGPT will give you a detailed and insightful analysis. Or maybe you're struggling with a tricky math problem on paper. Snap a photo, upload it, and get precise help right away.
The best part? Unlike many new features that start off exclusive to paid subscribers, free users can jump right into using the o3-mini model with uploads. Just hit "Reason" in the message textbox, attach your photo or document, and you're good to go. Paid users, you can pick your model from the dropdown and upload images as usual.
Ever wonder if AI will stifle creativity or squash human innovation? It's a bit unsettling to think about, but it's a topic worth exploring.
OpenAI didn't stop there. They've also boosted the usage limits for o3-mini-high, cranking it up seven times for Plus users, giving them the capacity to handle up to 50 messages per day.
Curious about who should be at the helm of OpenAI? A recent ZDNET poll shows that 50% of respondents favor Altman, while only 23% back Musk.
When OpenAI first introduced the o3-mini model, the high-reasoning version outshone the standard o3-mini in their benchmarks. In some cases, it even edged out the performance of o1, especially in the AIME 2024 tests. It's clear that these updates are making a significant impact.
