The latest release of o1 is faster and more accurate than the preview version, and it now has the ability to analyze images uploaded by the user. In benchmark tests, o1 pro mode outperformed o1, answering 86% of math competition questions correctly and improving upon o1’s score by 3% in a test involving doctorate-level science questions. OpenAI plans to extend o1’s capabilities over time, including adding a function calling capability and the ability to browse the web and process a broad range of file uploads.
