OpenAI's latest chatbot model, o1, has garnered significant attention from scientists for its advanced capabilities in scientific reasoning and problem-solving. Released in a preview version, o1 has demonstrated superior performance compared to its predecessor, GPT-4o, particularly in hard science tests. Notably, it achieved an impressive score of 78% on the Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A Benchmark, surpassing PhD-level scholars, especially excelling in physics with a score of 93%. The model employs a chain-of-thought reasoning approach, allowing it to articulate its problem-solving process, although the specifics of this reasoning are not disclosed to avoid potential errors and protect proprietary information. Despite its advancements, o1 has been reported to hallucinate more frequently than earlier models, raising concerns about its reliability for high-stakes scientific tasks. Nevertheless, researchers have found it useful for generating experimental protocols and exploring new research avenues. The model is currently available to select developers and paying customers, with ongoing evaluations in various scientific applications. Overall, o1 represents a significant leap in AI's utility for scientific inquiry, although caution is advised regarding its limitations.
