About
OpenAI o1‑mini is a cost-efficient model designed to excel in STEM reasoning tasks, such as mathematics and coding, while maintaining competitive performance against larger models like the OpenAI o1 and others. It is optimized for specialized reasoning without extensive world knowledge, resulting in faster and more economical computations. Despite its cost-effectiveness, o1‑mini achieves near comparable scores to larger models on benchmarks like AIME and Codeforces. It serves as an alternative to OpenAI o1-preview, particularly for ChatGPT Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users who benefit from its higher rate limits and reduced latency. The o1‑mini model is built on a high-compute reinforcement learning pipeline focused on STEM tasks, yielding significant improvements in reasoning proficiency at a reduced computational expense. While o1‑mini offers superior STEM performance, it trails in non-STEM factual knowledge, which is addressed in its limitations, but its tailored focus makes it ideal for specialized applications.
