Researchers who helped to test OpenAI’s new large language model, OpenAI o1, say it represents a big step up in terms of chatbots’ usefulness to science.
“In my field of quantum physics, it gives significantly more detailed and coherent responses” than did the company’s last model, GPT-4o, says Mario Krenn, leader of the Artificial Scientist Lab at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany. Krenn was one of a handful of scientists on the ‘red team’ that tested the preview version of o1 for OpenAI, a technology firm based in San Francisco, California, by putting the bot through its paces and checking for safety concerns.
Since the public launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the large language models that drive such chatbots have, on average, become bigger and better, with more parameters, or decision-making nodes; bigger training data sets; and stronger abilities across a variety of standardized tests, or benchmarks.
