OpenAI has unveiled yet another artificial intelligence model, this one called o1, which the company claims can perform complex reasoning tasks more efficiently than previous models. Apparently, o1 has been trained to “think longer before responding to a problem.” According to the company, “(The model) refines its thought processes, tries different strategies, and learns to recognize mistakes.”
The more considered responses mean it processes prompts much slower than GPT-4o. And while it may think more, o1 doesn’t solve the problem of hallucinations, a term that refers to AI models making up information. “We can’t say we’ve solved hallucinations,” Bob McGrew, OpenAI’s chief research officer, told The Verge.

The game debuted in May 2013, but it didn’t take off until January of the following year. Developer Dong Nguyen soon revealed that the game was making $50,000 a day from advertising revenue. He decided to take the game down, but the clones of his creation lingered. Under the banner of the Flappy Bird Foundation, avid fans officially acquired the rights to the game, and now it’s back with wings.
