The Industry Reacts to o3-Pro! (It Thinks a LOT)

Overview of o3-Pro Release 00:00

• o3-Pro is the most powerful model from OpenAI, but benchmarks do not reflect its capabilities.
• It is notably slow, taking minutes for responses, released alongside an 80% price drop for the vanilla o3 model.
• The video discusses industry reactions and a Rubik's cube simulation test conducted with o3-Pro.

Performance Evaluation 00:44

• Reviewers prefer o3-Pro over o3, praising its performance in science, education, programming, data analysis, and writing.
• o3-Pro scored higher in clarity, comprehensiveness, instruction following, and accuracy.
• Win rates for various tasks include 64% in scientific analysis and 66% in personal writing.

Benchmark Comparisons 01:54

• o3-Pro achieved a 3% higher score on the AME 2024 benchmark compared to o3 medium.
• For coding, o3-Pro reached an ELO of 2748 on Codeforces, ranking 159th globally, a significant improvement over o3 medium's score.

Cost and Accessibility 04:10

• Pricing for o3-Pro ranges from $1 to $10 per task, making it more expensive than other models like Claude Opus 4.
• Although performance was mixed, o3-Pro's cost reflects its capabilities in various benchmarks.

Industry Reactions 03:56

• Greg Cameron notes that o3-Pro's performance isn't significantly better than o3 but suggests it could be more robust.
• Flavio Adamo found o3-Pro cheaper and faster than o3, excelling in handling realistic simulations, though it remains slow.

User Experience and Feedback 06:31

• Users report extremely long response times for simple queries, raising concerns about efficiency.
• Instances of overthinking are highlighted, with some prompts taking over 20 minutes for completion.

Strategic Use Cases 09:01

• Users find o3-Pro effective for generating detailed plans and strategies based on internal data.
• A medical professional reported deeper insights from o3-Pro regarding immune system re-engineering compared to the earlier model.

Rubik's Cube Simulation Attempt 11:23

• o3-Pro took over 12 minutes to generate a code for a Rubik's cube simulation but ultimately failed due to a simple coding error.
• Despite its efficiency in code lines, the output did not meet expectations in functionality.

Conclusion 12:28

• The video concludes by inviting viewers to share their thoughts on o3-Pro and encourages likes and subscriptions for future content.
