The release of o1 "has provided the clearest glimpse yet at what sort of synthetic 'intelligence' the start-up and companies following its lead believe they are building."
O1 operates less like a "parrot" mimicking its training data and more like a maze rat, running through possible responses and automatically evaluating and revising its own output before it presents you with a final answer.
OpenAI has said that the arrival of o1 puts humanity on a new path toward a supposed superintelligence. There's plenty of room for doubt about that claim.
The release and its surrounding rhetoric seem likely to fulfill a core function for the company: attracting more interest and investment at a time when generative AI's growth appears to have otherwise stalled.
