We’re releasing OpenAI o3-mini, the newest, most cost-efficient model in our reasoning series, available in both ChatGPT and the API today. Previewed in December 2024⁠, this powerful and fast model advances the boundaries of what small models can achieve, delivering exceptional STEM capabilities—with particular strength in science, math, and coding—all while maintaining the low cost and reduced latency of OpenAI o1-mini.

OpenAI o3-mini is our first small reasoning model that supports highly requested developer features including function calling⁠(opens in a new window), Structured Outputs⁠(opens in a new window), and developer messages⁠(opens in a new window), making it production-ready out of the gate. Like OpenAI o1-mini and OpenAI o1-preview, o3-mini will support streaming⁠(opens in a new window). Also, developers can choose between three reasoning effort⁠(opens in a new window) options—low, medium, and high—to optimize for their specific use cases. This flexibility allows o3-mini to “think harder” when tackling complex challenges or prioritize speed when latency is a concern. o3-mini does not support vision capabilities, so developers should continue using OpenAI o1 for visual reasoning tasks. o3-mini is rolling out in the Chat Completions API, Assistants API, and Batch API starting today to select developers in API usage tiers 3-5⁠(opens in a new window).

ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users can access OpenAI o3-mini starting today, with Enterprise access coming in a week. 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. As part of this upgrade, we’re tripling the rate limit for Plus and Team users from 50 messages per day with o1-mini to 150 messages per day with o3-mini. Additionally, o3-mini now works with search to find up-to-date answers with links to relevant web sources. This is an early prototype as we work to integrate search across our reasoning models.

Starting today, free plan users can also try OpenAI o3-mini by selecting ‘Reason’ in the message composer or by regenerating a response. This marks the first time a reasoning model has been made available to free users in ChatGPT.

While OpenAI o1 remains our broader general knowledge reasoning model, OpenAI o3-mini provides a specialized alternative for technical domains requiring precision and speed. In ChatGPT, o3-mini uses medium reasoning effort to provide a balanced trade-off between speed and accuracy. All paid users will also have the option of selecting o3-mini-high in the model picker for a higher-intelligence version that takes a little longer to generate responses. Pro users will have unlimited access to both o3-mini and o3-mini-high.

OpenAI launches o3-mini, its latest ‘reasoning’ model

OpenAI on Friday launched a new AI “reasoning” model, o3-mini, the newest in the company’s o family of reasoning models.

OpenAI first previewed the model in December alongside a more capable system called o3, but the launch comes at a pivotal moment for the company, whose ambitions — and challenges — are seemingly growing by the day.

OpenAI is battling the perception that it’s ceding ground in the AI race to Chinese companies like DeepSeek, which OpenAI alleges might have stolen its IP. Nonetheless, the ChatGPT maker has managed to win over scores of developers, and it’s been trying to shore up its relationship with Washington as it simultaneously pursues an ambitious data center project. It’s reportedly also laying the groundwork for one of the largest financing rounds by a tech company in history.

Which brings us to o3-mini. OpenAI is pitching its new model as both “powerful” and “affordable.”

“Today’s launch marks […] an important step toward broadening accessibility to advanced AI in service of our mission,” an OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch.

Off to go check out that bad boy
DeepSeek has humbled them

lastburn:
I swear down!

kingamaa:
Technology overload

No thanks to China sorry thanks to Trump

Thanks, no thanks, all join.

Make I sharply go check am out

SultanOfPuna:
Bro if the United States can buy all the air in this world. They will make sure only their friends and allies will breathe air.

These people will make A.I
Then make it only accessible to a few
Africa and Asians can't access it
Thereby claiming strong monopoly
Withholding A.I from 3rd world countries

Until China launched Deepseek for FREE
No useless monthly subscription like USA
Just free and better version of AI

Now they have relaixlzed the world no longer revolves around USA. They are scrambling to make sure no competition happens.

It's too late.. if you like make it free
Everyone has moved on with Deepseek
