ChatGPT has a new model named o1-preview that can reason like a human but is it worth upgrading to ChatGPT Plus to use it?

Last week, OpenAI released “o1,” a new AI model that can reason through hard problems by breaking them down to their component parts and handling them step by step. Released in two iterations, o1-preview and o1-mini, the model is available to all ChatGPT Plus users, with a broader release to follow.

OpenAI is releasing a new model called o1, the first in a planned series of “reasoning” models that have been trained to answer more complex questions, faster than a human can. It’s being released alongside o1-mini, a smaller, cheaper version. And yes, if you’re steeped in AI rumors: this is, in fact, the extremely hyped Strawberry model.
