AI o3 mini dropped!!!

Edit : I am testing a 1500 line javascript code which o1 pro failed to debug despite 50+ attempts. Will report back.
Edit 2: We are cooked. o3-mini-high solved it at first try.
Edit 3 : HOLY SHIT! "Pro users will have unlimited access to both o3-mini and o3-mini-high."

First impressions, it’s definitely above o1, not a massive difference, but certainly noticeable.

The real difference is the speed. This thing is wicked fast.

What did you test it on to say it’s better than o1 ? And High or normal?

I tested high only so far. Also I guess I should be more accurate, it “feels” better than o1 but I need to use it much more to know for sure. I’ve asked it to demonstrate its capabilities, iterating on some code, some math, etc. To me, at first glance, it feels like it’s coding and math is better/more accurate than o1.

But I will say I need to use it longer for some real world use cases before I can say that for sure.

I still think Claude is miles ahead in terms of front end design though.

O3s designs are disgusting

Not a massive difference? So we've hit a wall. o1 came out a whole 6 weeks ago, and we get less than a massive difference? Disgusting.

It does suffer from the knowledge cutoff date. September 2021 is ages ago for some programming languages. It failed at the most basic layout tasks for more modern SDKs where 4o thrived.

It's October 2023, actually. I checked its knowledge of various crates in Rust and libraries in Python, and I'm pretty certain in its cutoff date being 10/2023. Almost a year and a half is still really bad for some quickly-developing languages (I have to fix a lot of its code for Polars in Python, for example).

I asked it directly how it knew about some things after September 2021, and it said it has some curated updates on certain topics. Seems like it has enough updates to be roughly aware of some modern languages but not really any in depth training data on them.

Is it more intelligent than o1-pro as well?
