🤖 Weekend AI Drama: o3-mini Drops + OpenAI's Surprise Stream

Hope you survived the weekend because OpenAI sure kept us busy.

Remember last week when I promised updates on O3-mini? Well, they dropped it, and let's just say I haven't slept much since. (My coffee maker is the real MVP.) We've been testing, breaking, and pushing this thing to its limits.

Here's the stuff you need to know:

OpenAI is calling o3-mini its "precision powerhouse" for tech nerds. And honestly, they might be onto something.

If you're rocking ChatGPT Plus, Team, or Pro, you can play with it RIGHT NOW. (Enterprise folks, hang tight until February).

This isn't just another model update. They've done something pretty wild you can actually control how hard it thinks. Like having three different versions of your smartest friend:

• The quick thinker

• The thorough analyzer

• The deep philosopher

But here's what blew my mind...

The Numbers Don't Lie:

• 24% faster than o1-mini (speed demon alert)

• 77% accuracy on PhD-level science questions (showing off much?)

Our friend Matt Berman dropped some intel comparing o3-mini and DeepSeek prices.

Spoiler alert: They're practically twins. 

He's calling it the "DeepSeek effect" Basically, open source is forcing everyone to play nice with their pricing. Love to see it.

The People Have Spoken OpenAI had a lot riding on this launch and... drum roll please... 56% of testers are giving o1-mini the "thank u, next" treatment in favour of o3-mini.

P.S. - The AI race just got more interesting, and we're here for it. 😉

🎮 But Wait, There's More...

Let's talk numbers because this update is more generous than my grandma during the holidays:

The Usage Breakdown:

• Plus & Team users: 150 messages/day (up from 50... not too shabby)

• Pro users: Unlimited access to BOTH regular o3-mini AND o3-mini-high (flex much?)

• Free users: ~10 free searches daily (hey, better than nothing)

We're loving o3-mini with search, even though it's like learning to ride a bike again. Don't worry though - we're taking notes and will share all our pro tips once we've mastered this beast.

Because apparently dropping the o3-mini wasn't enough to break the internet, OpenAI decided to casually livestream on Sunday and drop another bomb: Deep Research.

(Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking - their version of Google's feature)

Here's the deal:

1. Ask your burning question

2. Play 20 questions with GPT

3. Sit back and watch it go full detective mode with multiple searches

4. ...maybe grab a snack while you wait

Fair warning: These searches can take up to 30 minutes. Perfect time to finally clean your room or overthink your life choices. 😅

If you're a ChatGPT Pro user, Deep Research is ready for you to play with 4o right now.

Want the full scoop? 

Check out the launch video

Let me show you what people have been cooking up:

1. Someone just dropped the most realistic water simulation I've ever seen - and they did it with a single prompt

2. The Game Masters we've seen:

   • An autonomous snake that plays itself (oddly satisfying to watch)

   • A chaos mode with 100 snakes (because why not?)

   • The ultimate showdown: DeepSeek vs o3 snake battle (top 10 anime battles material)

3. McKay Wrigley just did something crazy: Replaced ALL his agents and workflows with o3-mini.

   The results?

   • 9x cheaper (your wallet says thank you)

   • 4x faster (time is money, friend)

   • Some workflows actually work BETTER (plot twist!)
