What are the ’12 days of OpenAI’?
OpenAI has announced a campaign called the “12 days of OpenAI”, where the company will host 12 days of live streams and release “a bunch of new things, big and small” starting from December 5.
What has been dropped so far?
Thursday, December 5:
OpenAI started with a bang, unveiling two major upgrades to its chatbot: a new tier of ChatGPT subscription, ChatGPT Pro, and the full version of the company’s o1 model.
Full version of o1:
* Will be better for all kinds of prompts, beyond math and science
* Will make major mistakes about 34% less often than o1-preview, while thinking about 50% faster
* Rolls out today, replacing o1-preview to all ChatGPT Plus and now Pro users
* Lets users input images, as seen in the demo, to provide multi-modal reasoning (reasoning on both text and images)
ChatGPT Pro:
* Is meant for ChatGPT Plus superusers, granting them unlimited access to the best OpenAI has to offer, including unlimited access to OpenAI o1-mini, GPT-4o, and Advanced Mode
* Features o1 pro mode, which uses more computing to reason through the hardest science and math problems
* Costs $200 per month
Where can you access the live stream?
The live streams are held on the OpenAI website, and posted to its YouTube channel immediately after. To make access easier, OpenAI will also post a link to the live stream on its X account 10 minutes before it starts, which will be at approximately 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET daily.
What can you expect?
The releases remain a surprise, but many anticipate that Sora, OpenAI’s video model initially announced last February, will be launched as part of one of the bigger drops. Since that first announcement, the model has been available to a select group of red teamers and testers and was leaked last week by some testers over grievances about “unpaid labor,” according to reports.
Other rumored releases include a new, fuller version of the company’s o1 LLM with more advanced reasoning capabilities, and a Santa voice for OpenAI’s Advanced Voice Mode, per code spotted by users only a couple of weeks ago under the codename “Straw”.
Conclusion
The “12 days of OpenAI” campaign promises to be an exciting event, with new releases and demos every day. From the full version of o1 to ChatGPT Pro, there’s a lot to look forward to. Make sure to tune in to the live streams on the OpenAI website and YouTube channel to stay up-to-date on all the latest developments.
