OpenAI has released o1-pro, an upgraded reasoning model that promises to deliver improved answers using more computing power, available through a developer API at higher costs. Priced at $150 per million input tokens and $600 per million generated tokens, it is significantly costlier than GPT-4.5 and even more so than the regular o1 model. Despite initial high expectations, early user feedback indicates mixed results, particularly in problem-solving tasks. Developers must weigh the potential advantages against the increased expense of this model.
Although OpenAI has high hopes for o1-pro, initial impressions were not entirely positive. The model appeared to struggle with Sudoku puzzles and was confused by simple optical illusions.
O1-pro in the API is a version of o1 that uses more computing power to think harder and provide even better answers to the most difficult problems.
The high pricing fits in with a trend in which AI services are increasingly billed based on usage, meaning customers pay for what they actually use.
For developers, this means that they must carefully consider whether the improved performance of o1-pro justifies the higher costs.
