ChatGPT Pro

On X, frequent AI experimenter Ethan Mollick wrote, “Been playing with o1 and o1-pro for bit. They are very good & a little weird. They are also not for most people most of the time. You really need to have particular hard problems to solve in order to get value out of it. But if you have those problems, this is a very big deal.”

OpenAI claims improved reliability

OpenAI is touting pro mode’s improved reliability, which is evaluated internally based on whether it can solve a question correctly in four out of four attempts rather than just a single attempt.

“In evaluations from external expert testers, o1 pro mode produces more reliably accurate and comprehensive responses, especially in areas like data science, programming, and case law analysis,” OpenAI writes.

Even without pro mode, OpenAI cited significant increases in performance over the o1 preview model on popular math and coding benchmarks (AIME 2024 and Codeforces), and more marginal improvements on a “PhD-level science” benchmark (GPQA Diamond). The increase in scores between o1 and o1 pro mode were much more marginal on these benchmarks.

We’ll likely have more coverage of the full version of o1 once it rolls out widely—and it’s supposed to launch today, accessible to ChatGPT Plus and Team users globally. Enterprise and Edu users will have access next week. At the moment, the ChatGPT Pro subscription is not yet available on our test account.
