OpenAI has introduced its latest AI model, 'o1,' nearly two years after the release of ChatGPT in November 2022.

The company now boasts over 200 million weekly active users.

The 'o1' model, formerly known as 'Strawberry,' is designed to reason through decisions similar to humans.

Though it is slower and smaller than previous models, it represents a significant step towards reasoning capabilities in AI, despite ongoing skepticism about its effectiveness.

OpenAI aims to secure additional funding and elevate its market value to $150 billion.

Concurrently, competitors like Mistral with its Pixtral 12B model struggle for visibility amid OpenAI's dominance.
