OpenAI has unveiled its latest innovation, the o3-mini, on January 31, 2025. This new AI model is designed to enhance reasoning capabilities and is available to all users of ChatGPT for free.

The launch comes as competition in the AI sector intensifies, particularly with the emergence of companies like DeepSeek.

OpenAI’s founder, Sam Altman, expressed excitement about the release, stating, “A lot of people prefer this to o1, and it’s just the mini model. Now we work on the big brother”.
