OpenAI o3 Model

A OpenAI o3 Model is a reasoning language model that serves as a next-generation AI model within the OpenAI Model Family (designed to perform advanced reasoning through adaptive computation and deliberative alignment).

• AKA: o3, OpenAI o3, o3 Reasoning Model.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) perform mathematical reasoning through adaptive thinking.
  • It can (typically) solve scientific problems through domain expertise.
  • It can (typically) handle programming challenges through algorithmic reasoning.
  • It can (typically) maintain safety alignment through deliberative processing.
  • It can (typically) decompose complex problems through systematic breakdown.
  • It can (often) utilize adaptive thinking through:
    • Low Reasoning Mode for simple query processing.
    • Medium Reasoning Mode for moderate complexity tasks.
    • High Reasoning Mode for complex task resolution.
  • It can (often) implement safety measures through red-team testing.
  • It can (often) process multiple prompts through related consideration.
  • It can (often) apply chain of thought through step-by-step analysis.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Mini o3 Model to being a Full o3 Model, depending on its model scale.
  • It can range from being a Fast Response o3 to being a Deep Thinking o3, depending on its computation depth.
  • It can range from being a General Purpose o3 to being a Specialized o3, depending on its task domain.
  • ...
  • It can achieve benchmark performance with:
    • AIME 2024 Score of 96.7% accuracy.
    • GPQA Diamond Score of 87.7%.
    • SWE-bench Score of 71.7%.
    • Codeforces Rating of 2727 (99th percentile).
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • OpenAI o3 Base Models (planned for 2025-01), such as:
    • Base Category, such as:
      • o3-mini for basic reasoning capability.
      • o3-preview for enhanced reasoning tasks.
  • OpenAI o3 Full Models (planned for 2025-02), such as:
    • Domain Specialized, such as:
      • o3-mathematics for advanced mathematical reasoning.
      • o3-programming for advanced coding capability.
      • o3-science for advanced scientific reasoning.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • OpenAI o1 Model, which has lower performance metrics on reasoning tasks.
  • GPT-4 Model, which lacks adaptive thinking time capability.
  • Claude 3, which uses different reasoning approaches.
  • Gemini Ultra, which employs different model architecture.
