“o3 approaches AGI in certain conditions,” says OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, as the successor to o1 makes waves with its reasoning prowess. The o3 family, featuring o3-mini, introduces adjustable compute settings for tasks in science, math, and programming, setting records like a 96.7% score on the 2024 American Invitational Mathematics Exam. But it’s not all smooth sailing. François Chollet points out, “o3 still fails at tasks easy for humans,” showing its evolving nature. Meanwhile, OpenAI uses its new "deliberative alignment" technique to tackle risks like deception. While o3-mini previews are live, OpenAI is refining plans for broader availability. Could this be the dawn of true AGI? The AI race is heating up! #OpenAI #AGI #AIInnovation #ReasoningModels #o3
