o3, our latest reasoning model, is a breakthrough, with a step function improvement on our hardest benchmarks. we are starting safety testing & red teaming now.
Today OpenAI announced o3, its next-gen reasoning model. We've worked with OpenAI to test it on ARC-AGI, and we believe it represents a significant breakthrough in getting AI to adapt to novel tasks. It scores 75.7% on the semi-private eval in low-compute mode (for $20 per task in compute ) and 87.5% in high-compute mode (thousands of $ per task). It's very expensive, but it's not just brute -- these capabilities are new territory and they demand serious scientific attention.

Sora can also generate stories involving a sequence of events, although it's far from perfect. For this video, I asked that a golden retriever and samoyed should walk through NYC, then a taxi should stop to let the dogs pass a crosswalk, then they should walk past a pretzel and hot dog stand, and finally they should end up looking at Broadway signs.
