OpenAI has made o1-mini, the smallest version of its new reasoning family of artificial intelligence models, available for free in ChatGPT. You can even use it without signing up for an account.
Unlike other AI models, such as GPT-4 and Anthropic's Claude, o1 can take a prompt and work through a problem step-by-step before responding with its final output. This significantly reduces error rates or "hallucinations" and allows for much longer, well-thought-out responses.
