OpenAI has changed the way that its new ChatGPT o3-mini model displays its chain of thought (Cot) to “make it easier for people to understand how the model thinks," however it has faced an almost immediate backlash from users and accusations that it is copying the way that DeepSeek's R1 model displays its reasoning.
Speaking to TechRadar, OpenAI said: “Users have told us that understanding how the model reasons through a response not only supports more informed decision-making but also helps build trust in its answers."
