BREAKING: OpenAI's new O3 model changes everything

OpenAI's new O3 model is groundbreaking. So much so that I'll admit: I was wrong. Very, very wrong.

The use of the logarithmic scale on the graph looks intentionally confusing, making it look at a first glance like there is some sort of linear progress, while there is actually 100x cost increase for 3x result

Are you saying: it's cheaper to just pay a developer to do the task?

[hicoop]

Cryptobros and ai enthusiasts competing for the biggest carbon footprint

[Zoulz]

No wonder the machine will need to turn us into batteries in the future. They need to power their AI. 😅

[rekulator]

High compute was 172x low compute, so roughly $3500 per task, totalling $350000

[alexaka]

Maybe I'm insane but all I see is 500% performance increase for 2000% more cost. This is a plateau just zoomed in super close.

Can you just stop with the "changes everything" clickbait titles? 🤨

'Changes everything we thought we knew about AI" would be okay, but "changes everything" is just empirically false and makes you look like a scammer.

But they spend over $1 million to solve all Arc Prize tasks ($3000+ per task).

I do not believe a single word from OpenAI until the model is out there and i can try first hand, o1 was quite a disappointment

[Thrashmetalman]

I work in AI research and no. it is not AGI

[RoyerAdames]

What happen to 02? O1 just came out, and now we are talking about 03. I feel like I miss a season or something

[kelton]

Its not just the hardware. As soon as the papers for previous gpt models were released, lots of super smart people optimized the process by orders of magnitude.
I think we could drop the hardware overhead by a significant amount if open ais models and process were open.

Thanks but I'm still holding my beer. Benchmarks are benchmarks, and we know how easy it is to screwshit up nonmaliciously with JS frameworks. I need functionality to work for more than just squares. Also, is this REALLY taking your job? Realistically no. As to the safety thing...honestly... this mostly marketing and monopoly protection.

"Hey guys, I was wrong"
One minute later:
"It won't scale like this anymore, it's impossible!"

How unaware can you be?

[rahulthomas]

Isnt the only cost of GPU farms electricity. 2000$ is still too much per task. The human brain is so efficient that Gigawatts of electricity is needed to match it.

I'm interested to see how photonic processors get integrated at scale. That alone could save a lot on energy costs, especially as _new_ datacenters get populated with a high proportion of hardware dedicated to AI/ML computation.

[Slashscreen]

I still maintain that we are in the "vaccum tubes and mainframes" era of AI, and we need to rethink how we are using these models. If we do that, in the future we will look back at this time period with horror

[sevi]

Theo went from Ai is not going to take our jobs, to "I am really concerned about this" real quick. Thanks Theo!!!

[KiffgrasConnaisseur]

If you have to ask if it´s "AGI" the answer is no.

Also what happened to "let us save the planet?" Guess that´s officially off the tables now?

[jamaliseven]

It literally shows (Tuned) in the benchmark results. So o3 was tuned to this specific problem. Why would not he mention that in the video?
