o1
OpenAI1. Full-scale reasoning model
- Uses reinforcement learning to generate long internal chains of thought.
- Suitable for tasks requiring deep logic, multi-step planning, and rich analytical reasoning.
2. Strong performance across domains
- Excellent at math, science, coding, and structured analytical work.
- Handles multi-step workflows and complex problem-solving with high consistency.
3. High output capacity (100K tokens)
- Enables long, detailed explanations, large documents, and multi-part analyses.
4. Image-understanding capable
- Accepts text + image inputs for visual reasoning and mixed-modality tasks.
- Output is text only, optimized for clear explanations.
5. Advanced API compatibility
- Works with Chat Completions, Responses, Realtime, Assistants, and more.
- Supports streaming, function calling, and structured outputs.
6. Stable long-context performance
- 200K-token context window supports large files, multi-document analysis, and extended conversations.
7. Designed for correctness-oriented workloads
- Prioritizes rigorous reasoning over speed.
- Useful in auditing, verification, scientific thinking, policy analysis, and legal-style reasoning.
8. Powerful but expensive
- High token costs make it suitable for selective, mission-critical reasoning rather than high-volume usage.
