OpenAI Introduces o1-pro Model with Enhanced Computing Power

OpenAI has launched the o1-pro, a more powerful version of its o1 reasoning AI model, now available in its developer API. According to OpenAI's documentation, the o1-pro uses more computing resources to deliver consistently better responses, though at a significantly higher cost. The model is priced at $150 per million input tokens and $600 per million output tokens, making it twice as expensive as the GPT-4.5 for input and ten times the price of the regular o1 model.

The o1-pro is currently accessible to select developers who have spent at least $5 on OpenAI API services. Despite its high cost, OpenAI is confident that the improved performance of o1-pro will attract developers seeking more reliable responses to complex problems. However, early feedback from users indicates that while the model performs slightly better on coding and math problems, it still struggles with certain tasks like Sudoku puzzles and optical illusion jokes.
