ChatGPT maker OpenAI has announced its next major product release: A generative AI model code-named Strawberry, officially called OpenAI o1.

To be more precise, o1 is actually a family of models. Two are available Thursday in ChatGPT and via OpenAI’s API: o1-preview and o1-mini, a smaller, more efficient model aimed at code generation.

Note that the o1 chatbot experience is fairly barebones at present. Unlike GPT-4o, o1’s forebear, o1 can’t browse the web or analyze files yet. The model does have image-analyzing features, but they’ve been disabled pending additional testing. And o1 is rate-limited; weekly limits are currently 30 messages for o1-preview and 50 for o1-mini.
