We are introducing OpenAI o1, a new large language model trained with reinforcement learning to perform complex reasoning. o1 thinks before it answers—it can produce a long internal chain of thought before responding to the user.

I don’t think we have much of a choice. Anyone who is not using these things are being left behind. I work in IT though so it’s from that perspective, but I use it all the time to get samples of code or help that usually works, but not always.
Sometimes they are really bad though, and I hope this new model will help with that.
Even if it costs more in the future, companies will pay for it. It’s just saving so much time day to day.
