New Delhi, Dec 28 (NationPress) Social media influencers have initiated a heated discussion surrounding OpenAI's latest o3 reasoning model, with some expressing concerns about its steep price and the risk of overstating its artificial general intelligence (AGI) potential.
Many influencers are truly impressed by its remarkable performance across various benchmarks, including surpassing human capabilities in coding and scientific reasoning tasks, as reported by GlobalData, a prominent data and analytics firm.
Influencers are especially intrigued by o3's capacity to execute complex tasks independently, possibly outpacing human abilities in nearly all cognitive areas, and its exhibition of a 'private chain of thought' methodology, which provides more dependable responses, according to Shreyasee Majumder, a social media analyst at GlobalData.
Nonetheless, a substantial discussion is ongoing regarding the model’s cost efficiency and its applicability across various problem domains.
Some influencers point out the enormous computational resources required for o3, indicating that while it may represent a significant advancement, its practical use is still restricted due to its exorbitant cost.
“Moreover, some influencers contest the assertions of achieving 'AGI', arguing that while o3 showcases impressive abilities, it has yet to attain true general intelligence and lacks consistency across all problem types,” stated Majumder.
As per Elvis S, Cofounder and CEO at DAIR.AI, the excitement surrounding o3 is overwhelming.
“It’s not AGI, it’s not the singularity, and you certainly don’t have to revise your perspective. In reality, the public doesn’t even have access to the models, so how can anyone make such claims? I commend how the OpenAI researchers introduced o3,” remarked Elvis.
Aaron Levie, CEO at Box, remarked that OpenAI’s o3 model seems to excel at reasoning compared to other models available.
“It incurs a much higher operating cost, but that’s inconsequential. What is pricey today will be affordable tomorrow. Quality is paramount because costs will inevitably decrease,” he noted.
Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO at Social Capital, stated that this AI model establishes new performance records across several benchmarks, achieving 96.7 percent on the American Invitational Mathematics Exam, 87.7 percent on graduate-level science questions, and a Codeforces rating exceeding the 99th percentile.
