About o1

OpenAI's first reasoning-tuned model — spends more compute per query on chain-of-thought. Superseded by o3/GPT-5 but still available and useful for math, science, and hard code problems where you want a distinct 'thinking' pass.

Strengths

  • Deep chain-of-thought
  • Better than 4o on math/science
  • Long context

Weaknesses

  • No tools/functions
  • Slow (10-60s latency)
  • Superseded on most tasks by GPT-5
