AI World going crazy in last few days!! First China released DeepSeek R1. Yesterday, Alibaba’s team released Qwen2.5 Max which is better than DeepSeek R1 as per their paper. Now today, OpenAI released o3 mini. I’m speechless the way AI models are building along with the way they getting upgraded. Yeah, of course lots of money needed to build these kind of huge LLMs but it’s crazy fast man.
They said this is their powerful and fast model advances the boundaries of what small models can achieve, delivering exceptional STEM capabilities.
STEM ⇒ Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
OpenAI o1 remains our broader general knowledge reasoning model, OpenAI o3-mini provides a specialized alternative for technical domains requiring precision and speed.
o3-mini does not support vision capabilities, so developers should continue using OpenAI o1 for visual reasoning tasks. o3-mini will replace OpenAI o1-mini in the model picker, offering higher rate limits and lower latency, making it a compelling choice for coding, STEM, and logical problem-solving tasks.
o3-mini with medium reasoning effort matches o1’s performance in math, coding, and science, while delivering faster responses. It’s already tested in AIME.
Note: American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) is a selective and prestigious 15-question 3-hour test given since 1983
