OpenAI is preparing to launch a new artificial intelligence model that it said is capable of more advanced human-like reasoning than its current offerings, ratcheting up the competition with rivals such as Alphabet Inc. ’s Google.

OpenAI saved its biggest announcement for the last day of its 12-day "shipmas" event. On Friday, the company unveiled o3, the successor to the o1

For 12 days straight, OpenAI unveiled 'new things, big and small.' Here's what's new today and a full round-up of all the announcements.

CEO Sam Altman closed out the 12 Days of OpenAI event Friday with a first look at the company's upcoming o3 reasoning model.

OpenAI just wrapped up its 12-day event called “Shipmas” where it made some amazing announcements. As a proper send-off, OpenAI introduced us to o3, its upcoming reasoning model, and it looks like it will be extremely smart.

After nearly two weeks of announcements, OpenAI capped off its 12 Days of OpenAI livestream series with a preview of its next-generation frontier model.

For the last day of ship-mas, OpenAI previewed a new set of frontier “reasoning” models dubbed o3 and o3-mini. The Verge first reported that a new reasoning model would be coming during this event. The company isn’t releasing these models today (and admits final results may evolve with more post-training).

OpenAI and the ARC Prize competition also shared how o3 scored 76 percent on the ARC-AGI benchmark, which includes novel unpublished datasets. The ARC-AGI benchmark is designed to test ability to learn new and distinct skills on the fly with every new task.
