OpenAI: o3 and o4-mini. AI Just Learned to Think Differently—And It Changes Everything
16 Apr 2025
“o3 doesn’t just answer questions—it brainstorms original ideas and fixes bugs like a real developer.”This episode dives deep into OpenAI’s latest breakthrough: the O-series models, o3 and o4 Mini. But this isn't just a technical upgrade. According to top researchers, it's a qualitative leap—a shift in how AI reasons, creates, and interacts with the world.We break down why these models are turning heads across the AI world. From solving PhD-level science questions to debugging real-world code in a live dev environment, o3 isn't just smart—it's useful in entirely new ways.You'll hear about:The model that made 600 tool calls to solve a single problemAn AI that analyzed a blurry physics poster and connected it to cutting-edge researchHow it synthesized coral reef audio science into a personalized insightWhy it now ranks among the top 200 coders worldwideAnd how it’s transforming programming itself through Codeex CLI, a new local AI coding agentBut what’s most jaw-dropping? These models aren’t just retrieving facts—they’re generating novel ideas, refining their own thinking, and even evaluating uncertainty like a seasoned researcher.With huge gains in reasoning, multimodal understanding, and efficiency (o3 trained with 10x more compute), this isn’t a step forward—it’s a step into a new paradigm.If you’ve ever wondered what happens when AI stops mimicking and starts thinking, this is the episode to hear.🎧 Hit play and discover how the frontier of intelligence just got redrawn.Read more: https://openai.com/index/introducing-o3-and-o4-mini/
