Honestly, after some tests online and testing myself, o3 is underwhelming. Like, by A LOT. R1 still manages to beat it in half if not more of the tasks, especially making a game in html. Also, I've noticed a SIGNIFICANT drop in all chatgpt models. What do I mean? They seem to respond in such stupid ways, they don't actually follow what the user is saying. This started happening after r1 released (I did not use R1 at that time, so there's no bias on my side. I came to this conclusion before using R1 or even hearing about it.)

That's my main model. - **About "o3-mini":** There is no version called "o3-mini" in my design. My technology is entirely based on GPT-4. So, to answer your question directly: No, I'm not "o3-mini." I'm GPT-4.

[@TheHronar]

It's not weird that o3 Mini costs less per token than 4o. It's probably the equivalent of 4o mini but with reasoning capabilities. It ultimately spits out MUCH more tokens per prompt and you're still paying for them even if you don't see them over the API.

I use the old GPT four model and it works better for me because the GPT four actually gives me precise what I want the oh one things instead of me, which is of course worse because I’m super superior to you or any other human being.

[@MrEnriqueag]

@tubeyou6794 I'm not sure if you are implying I said anything of the sort. Or you are actually saying that you do that which wouldn't be the smartest thing to do. But technically if you broke down the problem into very clear step by step instructions you realize how that would be easier for the AI no? If you want to test this, you can use any reasoning model that actually gives you all the "thinking" part. Ask a question to V3 that it can't do consistently but R1 can. Now ask it to R1, then take the content inside the think tags and dive it with the question to V3 Watch V3 get the question right. But if you want to do it even better, break down the problem in tiny steps yourself, and ask it to do the steps 1 by 1 and you'll probably do a better job than R1

I tested it for about 4 hours yesterday and for now 01 Pro is just better due to being more compliant and on task when presented with long and complex prompt scripts and tasks. It's not so much about hallucinations at this point, it's more like it selectively ignores parts of the script, even with the most extreme reenforcement. Like, it understands the full context but will do what it wants past a certain point instead of following the full letter of what you're asking for it unless you go back to chunking your answer and go peacemeal.

I tested o3-mini (low) [free-tier] and Deepseek R1 on some math competitions. Deepseek R1 is able to solve many problems from the Chinese National High School Math League First Round, but fails miserably on the Second Round (harder problems). On the other hand, o3-mini (low) solves all problems from the Second Round @2 (those I threw to it), but fails on the National Team Selection Test (extremely hard problems). And o3-mini (low) is clearly faster than Deepseek R1. So at least for math, o3-mini (low) is better than Deepseek R1.

[@sebkeccu4546]

I find the naming of open ai extreemly confusing, you have three o3 models mini/medium/high but the mini also has 3 sub models: mini-low mini-medium and mini-high. So now when we are looking at benchmarks, we have no idea what the benchmarks refer to. Especially when you do like the video creator here, naming it "o3" , it is not clear anymore if we are still looking at the o3 mini models, and if yes, which of the sub models. Deepseek seem to be better then o3 mini-mini and mini-medium, but not mini-high (which is currently only for pro subscribers). But offcourse deepseek r1 can be downloaded, whereas the o3 models cannot be downloaded. And when we think of all the dowtime chatgpt has the last few, weeks. It becomes tempting to run it offline. Especially because with deepseek we can use PDF's, for some reason the o3 models don't support files.

[@lyndonsimpson1056]

i think the formating outpout issue is a tell that this was not as polished as they wanted before release and did a rushed release following deepseek fallout. they never wanted to release this for free but have been forced into it. it's a lot cheaper for us but they are probably doing this at a big loss

[@mdxggxek1909]

Instead of being confused why most of your costs are from claude, you could maybe just make out that claude is really well liked.... The reason why claude is used so much, is because it is incredibly well aligned for programming.

Do API users (or T3) have to pay for the tokens used in the weird formatting of outputs? Like those weird lines of dashes would presumably consume tokens despite having zero functional value in the output.

o3 mini might be cheap but it generates lots of output token for reasoning deepseek v3 is the best compromise for generation

In my test scenario o3-mini solved the problem fast, but R1 spent 10 minutes and gave me code that don’t work at all. All other models I tried also was not able to solve my test task. So o3-mini favorite for now. Have not tried o1 just in case.

With o1 you are paying for output tokens that you don't get to see. That sounds like a scam to me

[@legelf]

calling deepseek dilluted from their own model and then dropping a model comparable to r1 for so cheap doesnt make sense at all, its like openai is completely falling apart out of desperation💀

Why doesn't t3 chat have QWEN2.5? And why doesn't it have the qwen mini distilled versions of Deepseek?
