OpenAI has released a new model called 01 preview, marking a shift in their naming convention. This model is available to ChatGPT Pro and Enterprise users, offering advanced reasoning capabilities for complex tasks.
Key Features of 01 Preview:
- Uses Chain of Thought prompting
- Slower response time but more thorough reasoning
- Outperforms GPT-4 in various benchmarks

- Scientific reasoning
OpenAI claims the model ranks in the 89th percentile for competitive programming questions and exceeds PhD-level accuracy in physics, biology, and chemistry problems.
Pricing and Availability
The new model is currently only available to paid ChatGPT users. The 01 mini version is expected to become available to free users in the future. However, API pricing for the new model has raised concerns due to its higher cost compared to existing options.
Technical Insights
Jim Fan provided an interesting breakdown of the model's approach:
- Less focus on pre-training (data scraping)
- Similar post-training (fine-tuning and guardrails)
- More emphasis on inference (prompt processing)
This shift in focus could lead to faster releases of improved models in the future.
