What you need to know

• OpenAI recently unveiled next-gen AI models with advanced reasoning capabilities across science, math, and coding, including OpenAI o1 and o1-mini.
• The new models are shipping exclusively to ChatGPT Plus and Teams users, meaning you'll need a paid subscription to gain access, although their capabilities are fairly limited.
• OpenAI admits the models will need "an extra minute" to respond to queries since it processes prompts step-by-step before responding.
