Details

Overview

o1 represents a new paradigm in AI models, trained with reinforcement learning to perform complex reasoning. Unlike traditional models that respond immediately, o1 uses a chain of thought process, spending seconds to minutes analyzing problems before generating comprehensive solutions.

Key Features

  • Extended Thinking: Internal reasoning process that breaks down complex problems systematically
  • 200K Context Window: Process extensive documents and maintain reasoning across large contexts
  • 100K Output Tokens: Generate extremely long, detailed responses when needed
  • Vision Reasoning: Apply deep reasoning to visual content analysis
  • Superior Accuracy: Dramatically improved performance on hard problems

Use Cases

o1 excels at PhD-level science questions, complex mathematical proofs, advanced coding challenges, strategic analysis, and any task requiring multi-step logical reasoning. It’s particularly valuable for research, code generation, and technical problem-solving.

Performance

o1 achieves state-of-the-art results on competitive programming, mathematics olympiads, and PhD-level science benchmarks. It ranks in the 89th percentile on Codeforces and places among the top 500 students in the USA Math Olympiad qualifier.
