Planning a wedding can be a stressful time, but my now-wife and I wanted to make sure our special day was filled with fun and memorable moments for our guests. So, we decided to host a series of games inspired by the popular show Survivor at the summer camp where we tied the knot last weekend.
One of the challenges we had in mind was a memory game, where guests had to memorize and recreate part of a poem using wooden tiles. We turned to OpenAI’s GPT-4o for help in crafting the perfect wedding-themed poem that fit our game constraints.
However, GPT-4o failed to deliver what we needed, and we had to come up with an alternative memory challenge involving shapes made from colored tiles. Despite the initial setback, our friends and family had a blast competing in various games like dodgeball, egg tosses, and capture the flag.
Just when we thought we had missed out on the perfect poem, OpenAI released their new model, o1, which completely blew us away. Unlike its predecessors, o1 excels in multistep reasoning tasks, making it ideal for math, coding, and other STEM-based challenges.
OpenAI’s tests have shown that o1 outperforms GPT-4o in various scenarios, including math olympiad questions and PhD-level inquiries. This new model has the potential to revolutionize how AI can assist researchers in fields like drug discovery, materials science, coding, and physics.
The significance of o1 lies in its ability to bring “chain-of-thought” reasoning to a wider audience, paving the way for more advanced AI companions to aid humans in complex problem-solving. With o1, the possibilities are endless!
