Answers
o1-preview — common questions
Who created o1-preview?
o1-preview was published by OpenAI, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
When was o1-preview released?
o1-preview was published in September 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
What is o1-preview used for?
o1-preview works in Language, Mathematics, Biology, and is recorded as handling code generation, Language modeling/generation, Quantitative reasoning, Chat, Question answering, Translation. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.
What GPU do I need to run o1-preview?
None. o1-preview is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
Is o1-preview open source?
No. o1-preview has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does o1-preview have?
No parameter count has been published for o1-preview, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
