Closed weights OpenAI December 2024

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

Why it is tracked
SOTA improvement,Significant use

SOTA in GPQA among others: https://openai.com/index/learning-to-reason-with-llms/ "we recruited experts with PhDs to answer GPQA-diamond questions. We found that o1 surpassed the performance of those human experts, becoming the first model to do so on this benchmark." "With its vision perception capabilities enabled, o1 scored 78.2% on MMMU, making it the first model to be competitive with human experts."

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

o1 was published by OpenAI, in United States of America, in December 2024. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Language, Mathematics, Multimodal, and is recorded as doing code generation, Language modeling/generation, Quantitative reasoning, Chat, Question answering, Translation, Mathematical reasoning.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

How it was trained

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is sOTA improvement,Significant use.

Answers

o1 — common questions

01

Is o1 open source?

No. o1 has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

02

How many parameters does o1 have?

No parameter count has been published for o1, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

03

Who created o1?

o1 was published by OpenAI, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

04

When was o1 released?

o1 was published in December 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.

05

What is o1 used for?

o1 works in Language, Mathematics, Multimodal, and is recorded as handling code generation, Language modeling/generation, Quantitative reasoning, Chat, Question answering, Translation, Mathematical reasoning. 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.

06

What GPU do I need to run o1?

None. o1 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.

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.
