OpenAI announced on March 20 o1-pro, a heavy-duty version of one of its reasoning models.<\/p>\n<p>Developers on any of OpenAI\u2019s paid tiers can find o1-pro in the OpenAI API starting today. Those with higher usage tiers will have higher request and batch queue limits.<\/p>\n<p>The price reflects greater compute power: o1-pro costs $150 for 1 million input tokens and $600 for 1 million output tokens. Compare that to $15.00 for 1 million tokens and $60 per 1 million output tokens when using the base model of OpenAI o1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/openai-roundup-o3-o3-mini\/\">OpenAI Recap: o3 Model Wraps 12 Days of Announcements<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<aside class=\"pinbox right\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">More must-read AI coverage<\/h3>\n<\/aside>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_capabilities_does_600_per_one_million_tokens_unlock\"><\/span>What capabilities does $600 per one million tokens unlock?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The price point makes <a href=\"https:\/\/platform.openai.com\/docs\/models\/o1-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenAI o1-pro<\/a> one of the priciest AI models. It takes the crown from API access to the Silicon Valley darling\u2019s own GPT-4.5. (GPT-4.5 costs $75 per million input tokens and $150 per million output tokens.)<\/p>\n<p>What do you get for that cash? OpenAI is probably hoping for o1-pro to bring in a deep-pocketed handful of researchers, engineers and other professionals using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/artificial-intelligence\/what-is-generative-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">generative AI<\/a> for science, medicine, or technology. While o1-pro is optimized for reasoning tasks, OpenAI offers separate models for transcription or moderation. A smaller, cheaper model can probably meet users\u2019 needs for those.<\/p>\n<p>For the price of o1-pro you get a 200,000 context window and 100,000 max output tokens.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI said o1-pro can interpret data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/artificial-intelligence\/machine-vision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">machine vision<\/a>, with text and image input. However, it only produces text output. In the API it also supports:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Function calling.<\/li>\n<li>Structured Outputs, which ensure the model\u2019s response will conform to the developer\u2019s JSON Schema.<\/li>\n<li>Integration with the Responses API, which can be used to create AI agents that can interact with the web in various ways, including running searches.<\/li>\n<li>Integration with the Batch API, which allows for asynchronous requests, providing lower costs and higher rate limits for jobs with a 24-hour turnaround time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OpenAI has not publicly specified the exact knowledge cutoff date for o1-pro, but previous models had real-world knowledge of up to late 2023.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_companies_compete_to_dominate_the_%E2%80%9Creasoning_model%E2%80%9D_landscape\"><\/span>AI companies compete to dominate the \u201creasoning model\u201d landscape<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/openai-o1-strawberry-model\/\">OpenAI introduced<\/a> o1 as \u201cStrawberry\u201d in September 2024.
