OpenAI Promises the Next Model of ChatGPT Will Be Better at Reasoning

OpenAI has unveiled a new model for its products, arriving for users near the end of January, 2025: It's called o3 (we seem to have jumped over o2), and it promises another significant step forward in AI reasoning. According to its developers, it will make tools like ChatGPT better than ever at programming and working out math problems.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described o3 as "incredibly smart" in the video announcing the model, released as part of his company's "12 Days of OpenAI" promotion over the holiday season.
