Day 1: Smarter, Faster, Stronger—Say Hello to o1
OpenAI didn’t hold back on Day 1. They dropped o1, the brainiac upgrade to their September preview model, and it’s making moves: smarter, faster, and a lot less wrong. (34% fewer mistakes, to be exact.)
- Why It’s Cool:
o1 doesn’t just read text—it gets images too. Imagine asking it to decode a meme and write your thesis.
Oh, and there’s ChatGPT Pro, for those of us who want a VIP pass to the AI party. - Key Features:
- o1 is faster and more accurate than ever.
- Jointly understands images and text like a true multitasker.
- ChatGPT Pro includes unlimited o1 access, GPT-4, advanced voice mode, and the exclusive o1 Pro mode (think of it as o1’s superhero form).
- Use it for:
- Complex problem-solving without the wait.
- Image-text tasks like document analysis or creative prompts.
- Anything where speed and accuracy are a priority.
- Lazy-Chic Note:
Sure, $200/month for Pro feels like a splurge, but if you’re saving time, earning money, or just looking to boss up your workflow, it’s totally worth it. For everything else, ChatGPT Plus($20/month, Of course Limited access to o1 and o1-mini) gets the job done at a fraction of the cost.
Day 2: Custom AI With Reinforcement Fine-Tuning
Day 2 brought out the tinkerer in all of us. OpenAI unveiled Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT), their latest tool that lets you customize o1 like never before. Think of it as giving your AI a crash course in exactly what you need it to know—with as little as a few dozen examples.
Why It’s Cool:
You’ve got specific needs, and generic AI models aren’t always enough. With RFT, you can tailor o1 to your domain, making it an expert in your niche without needing a ton of data.
Key Features:
- Custom AI Magic:
Train o1 on your datasets to focus on specific tasks or areas of expertise. - Minimal Data, Maximum Impact:

Use it for:
- Creating specialized AI models for niche research or industries.
- Automating tasks that require domain-specific expertise.
- Transforming o1 into a hyper-focused assistant for your business or personal projects.
Lazy-Chic Note:
If you’ve ever wanted an AI assistant that feels custom-built for you, RFT is the way to go. Bonus? You don’t need to be a data scientist to make it happen—just a few examples, a sprinkle of curiosity, and voilà: your AI, your way.
Day 3: Lights, Camera, AI—Meet Sora
Day 3 turned things cinematic with the launch of Sora, OpenAI’s shiny new video generation model. Available for ChatGPT Plus and Pro users, Sora opens up a whole new way to bring your ideas to life—straight from text, images, or even remixes of existing videos.
