Let’s explain What exactly is the 03-mini model that Openai has decided to open and launch for all users. Because we are in an authentic career for generative artificial intelligence, and after the Deepseek free launch movement, OpenAi has counterattacked by releasing O3-mini for all.
We are going to start explaining what exactly is the O3 mini and where it comes from. Then, we will explain how this new model works internally and what makes it different from others. And finally we will tell you How can you use it In Chatgpt free of charge.
What is O3-mini
03-mini is one of the members of the family of artificial intelligence models O3 presented by OpenAI in December 2024. That month the O3 and O3-mini were presented, the first being the complete model or “older brother”, and The second a lighter version with more speed and efficiency.
It is an artificial intelligence model with response reasoning mechanics. This means that you will not give you a quick answer to what you ask how others such as the GPT-4o Mini can do, but that more time to generate the answers will be taken.
The GPT O3 and O3-mini are the successors of the GPT O1. There has been no O2, Openai seems to have skipped that version because it is a registered trademark, and it has gone from 1 to 3. Therefore, it is not that you have lost anything, but that the second version is 3.
Again, these models differ because Priority becomes looking for the best answer. Come on, that it will not seek to answer as quickly as possible as in other models of the company, but that this will try to “think” what it will say before doing so.
How the O3-mini works
Using this model, when you ask Chatgpt a question, instead of simply understanding your question and generating the answer, you will better analyze your question to understand the context well and what you have asked before. In addition to this, will also analyze the answers that is generating and the data you are processing to try to make sure it responds correctly.
What is sought with AI models with reasoning is to reduce the amount of hallucinations of conventional models. When you ask Chatgpt a question, especially with topics such as programming or mathematics, it is possible that I tell you something that is not true, although it reasons it so that it seems that it is. Therefore, the power to “think” a little more the answers should help this.
Internally, what is done is that Algorithms work in a different waywith different mathematical formulas that interacts with the data trying to process them in a different way, and generate the answer with different steps.
The O3 model improves O1 In 22.8 percentage points In Swe-Bench Verified. In this reference point it reaches 71.7 points in front of 84.9 of the previous model. Worse this is not what we refer to, The O3-mini is like a younger brother That the answers are thought a little less, but still does it considerably. The idea is that it is more efficient in the resources you spend, and that it is a little faster when answering.
How to use O3-mini
The new O3-mini model can be used for free For any user, that is, it has been integrated directly into the chatgpt that you enjoy whether you pay and do not pay.
To use this model, what you have to do is Activate the option Reason of chatgpt before sending a consultation. When you press this button and be selected, then the AI will reason the next prompt you send, and of the following while maintaining the option activated.
You will also be able combine the option of Reason con Look forso that ChatgPT first removes the information from the Internet, and then when processing it, reason the answer. This will allow you to have updated and reasoned answers.
When you ask chatgpt that reason, Before the answer you can see the reasoning. This means that you can see the questions that have been asked and the way in which the information has processed before generating the answer. And then, under the reasoning you have the answer itself.
In this way, if a failed response has been generated, you can know where the error has made. This can help you to ask Chatgpt again with a prompt in which you specify a way to face the information or with which you correct where the failure has committed.
