Microsoft has announced the availability of OpenAI's GPT-o1 reasoning model, now free for all users of Microsoft Copilot. This follows a recent price increase of $3 for Microsoft 365 subscriptions and the competitive emergence of DeepSeek's R1 AI model. Both GPT-o1 and R1 utilize chain-of-thought reasoning, potentially improving the quality of AI outputs. Despite the excitement over the model's availability, reactions to the cost increases have raised skepticism about the definition of 'free', as seen from user feedback regarding rising subscription costs.
This now gives everyone access to OpenAI's world class o1 reasoning model in Copilot, everywhere at no cost.
Hmm... within 24 hours of this being announced as being given out 'for free' I have just received an email from Microsoft informing me that my monthly family M365 subscription is going up by 31 percent.
