o1-mini is the most surprising research result I've seen in the past year
Obviously I cannot spill the secret, but a small model getting >60% on AIME math competition is so good that it's hard to believe

Notes on OpenAI’s new o1 chain-of-thought models
OpenAI released two major new preview models today: o1-preview and o1-mini (that mini one is not a preview)—previously rumored as having the codename “strawberry”. There’s a lot to understand about these models—they’re not as simple as the next step up from GPT-4o, instead introducing some major trade-offs in terms of cost and performance in exchange for improved “reasoning” capabilities.
