FULL STORY
======================================================================

 ChatGPT s new reasoning o1-mini AI model, previously codenamed Project 
Strawberry arrived last week and its already rolling out to free users. 

o1-mini and o1-preview are new AI models with impressive reasoning ability 
that can quickly solve riddles, answer equations, and even show you the 
thought process behind their decisions. If you want to see what o1-mini and 
o1-preview are capable of, check out Eric Hal Schwartz's test which showed 
the AI model was incredible at solving even the hardest riddles . 

At launch, OpenAI had promised free users would get to test out the reasoning 
model in the future, too. And that time has already come, with free users 
gaining access to o1-mini without subscribing to ChatGPT Plus. 

There is a caveat, however, as neither myself nor my colleague has access to 
o1-mini for free just yet, so it looks like youll need to be one of the lucky 
ones to use  Project Strawberry  for free right now. OpenAI hasnt confirmed 
how its determining which free accounts to give access to but we expect its a 
slow rollout that should grant everyone access in due course. ChatGPT free 
users now have access to the o1-mini model. I'm not sure about the number of 
prompts allowed per day, but this is a good update.

Currently, o1-mini is a standalone AI model that you need to select before 
asking a complex question. To check if youve got access for free, simply log 
in to ChatGPT on your desktop and click ChatGPT Auto. If youre lucky enough 
to have free access to o1-mini, youll be able to select the AI model from the 
dropdown menu. 

Ive been testing o1-mini over the last few days using my ChatGPT Plus 
subscription and Im seriously impressed with the AI models ability to solve 
the most complex of riddles. Internally, o1-mini has been used to solve 
puzzles like New York Times Connections and Wordle, a pretty impressive feat 
for artificial intelligence. 

Theres no further info on the free version of o1-mini, such as how many 
prompts you can ask it per day, but just having access in general is a major 
step forward in improving ChatGPT for the masses, without signing up for a 
monthly fee. You may also like OpenAI Strawberry is here - it's called 
o1-preview and it might be the most human ChatGPT ever ChatGPT alternatives:

OpenAI cant explain how it's better Can Grammarly's AI bloodhound sniff out
