OpenAI has released a lightweight artificial intelligence model, o3-Mini, available for free.

BlockBeats News, February 1st, OpenAI has released a new lightweight artificial intelligence model that is said to be capable of human-like reasoning and has improved efficiency. Following the release of an open-source model by China's DeepSeek, this product will receive close attention. The model released on Friday is named "o3-mini" and is available for free use.

In December last year, OpenAI first announced the o3-mini plan, while also revealing the more powerful o3. Both models are designed to answer complex questions related to topics such as programming, mathematics, and science. The timing of the launch was also expected, as OpenAI announced last year that o3-mini would be released at the end of January, followed shortly by o3.

However, the industry was amazed by the progress made by DeepSeek, especially due to the lower cost, sparking discussions. OpenAI is currently seeking to raise $400 billion at a valuation of $3 trillion. (Jinshi)
