OpenAI's o3 mini reasoning model follows the release of o1 to its broad availability during the company's 12 days of 'shipmas' in December 2024, and the ChatGPT maker is getting ready to launch it just a couple of weeks, according to a recent post shared by CEO Sam Altman on X:
"thank you to the external safety researchers who tested o3-mini. we have now finalized a version and are beginning the release process; planning to ship in ~a couple of weeks. also, we heard the feedback: will launch api and chatgpt at the same time! (it's very good.)"
