OpenAI has released “๐จ๐Ÿ”, a new AI model designed to enhance problem-solving capabilities, but it is important to clarify: ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐†๐๐“-๐Ÿ“. Instead, it seems to be the beginning of a new series of ‘Inference Models,’ which serve as enhancements or “patches” to existing models, rather than full-scale upgrades. ๐“๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ข๐ญ ๐š๐ฌ ๐š๐๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š “๐‚๐ก๐š๐ข๐ง ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐“๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ” ๐š๐๐-๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ.

For those with a paid ChatGPT subscription, you’re now using either GPT-4o or o1, which is essentially GPT-4 enhanced with o1โ€™s inference capabilities. There’s also an o1-mini variant available for specialized needs. This “inference variant” approach leverages the robustness of GPT-4 while optimizing it for specific tasks or environments, allowing for improved efficiency and performance in targeted applications.

Rather than moving from one generation to the next, like ๐†๐๐“-๐Ÿ’ to ๐†๐๐“-๐Ÿ“, ๐จ๐Ÿ introduces a strategy where models evolve through incremental updates. This model (๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘“๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ ๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘ฆ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘’ ๐‘˜๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘ค๐‘ ) can be added to any OpenAI ๐‹๐‹๐Œ or ๐’๐‹๐Œ, showing agility and adaptability in enhancing existing models without needing a complete overhaul.

The term “๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ” in OpenAI’s announcement hints at a new competitive strategy. OpenAI is positioning itself to keep pace with other companies’ new models and (๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘ฆ๐‘๐‘’ ๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘›) new modalities. For instance, if Google DeepMind, Anthropic, or Mistral AI releases a new 500+ billion parameter model, OpenAI could quickly respond by enhancing its last known good model with an inference layer like ๐จ๐Ÿ.

This shows that OpenAI is not just keeping up.
