OpenAI’s o3 and o4-mini are bigger than you think

This is a massive leap

This is incredible.

o3 and o4-mini are massive leaps towards a versatile general purpose AI.

This is insane — the model intelligently knew exactly what the person wrote here — actually figured out it was upside down and rotated it.

They are taking things to a whole new level with complex multimodal reasoning.

This one is even more insane — it easily solved a complicated maze and accurately drew the path it took from start to finish.

With perfectly accurate code to draw the path.

Multimodal reasoning is a major step towards an AI that could understand and interact with the entire virtual or physical world in every possible way.

Imagine how much more powerful it would be when they start thinking with audio and video.

It’s a major step towards a general purpose AI that can work with any kind of data in any situation.

o3: Powerful multimodal reasoning model — deeper analysis, problem-solving, decision-making.

o4-mini: Smaller sibling of o4 — efficient but still pretty impressive.

The possibilities are endless:
