Jordan Wilson (Everyday AI) reviews OpenAI's announcement (Dec 6, 2024) of new reasoning-class models in the O1 family (O1 Mini, O1, and O1 Pro) and a new ChatGPT Pro subscription tier. Key points: OpenAI markets O1 as a reasoning model (distinct from GPT-series) and claims a ~50% performance increase; ChatGPT Pro is a $200/month plan that provides unlimited access to O1, O1 Pro, O1 Mini, GPT-4o, and advanced voice mode. Wilson demonstrates O1’s multimodal capability (PNG/JPEG uploads), runs live tests (prompt-based business use cases and an analysis of a 14,000-cell spreadsheet screenshot), and reports substantial quality and reliability gains in benchmarks (host quotes competition-math scores and increased "four-for-four" reliability). He frames the release in business terms (who should consider $200/month), notes uncertainty on API/enterprise rollout, and raises questions about accessibility and tiering.
