Openai has not been intimidated with the arrival of his new Chinese opponent Deepseek. The American company has just launched a new version of ChatgPT: O3-mini. This model has been improved especially in terms of reasoning capabilities. Thanks to this improvement, fields such as science, technology, engineering or mathematics (those that form the so -called Stem), are especially benefited.
One of the most striking aspects of the new version is that we can try it for free (Deepseek’s competition seems to have put the batteries more than one). And if we want to use it with broader text limits, we can always subscribe to its different programs. The question is: will Openai be able to stop the influence of its Asian competitors with this new version?
Characteristics of the new O3-mini
The new chatgpt banner is presented as the most talented son of the family. This new O3-mini presents a series of general improvements:
- Improved reasoning capacity. The American company has focused on this version in solving mathematical problems, programming tasks and carrying out scientific analysis. Now, when we ask something, it will give us the option “Reason” in your response to focus more on this new facet.
- Improvement in speed/quality. The speed of response by the chatbot has improved, and also without sacrificing quality in its content. This is another step towards a real optimization of its services.
- Free access. Yes, all types of user can already access the O3-mini version in its free and payment form. Remember that if you are a chatgpt plus subscriber you will have expanded access to the chats with it (150 interactions), while the Enterprise version allows you to use it unlimited.
Chatgpt O3-mini vs. Deepseek R1
The new member of the Openai family has generated immediate comparisons with the king of these days: the R1 version of Deepseek. What are these versions of AI lie?
The first is the type of property, because Deepseek is presented as an open source AI in its entirety, so it allows its users to handle the program. With the Openai chatbot you can forget that: the American company is the only owner of all versions of Chatgpt.
If we talk about performance, O3-MINI surpasses its competitor in reasoning tests, especially in solving mathematical problems and programming tasks. But Deepseek artillery is more accurate at the level of advanced research in fields such as chemistry, biology or physical.
Finally, if we look at the accessibility for the use of each one, the O3-mini version is fully integrated in Chatgpt, and this requires an OpenAi account to enter, so it can be said that O3-MINI is completely online. While Deepseek can also be executed online, another of its advantages is that we can install it on our PC or look for it on custom servers … and there are fields that the American chatbot has yet nor bordered.
Remember that if you want to use the latest version of ChatgPT, you will find O3-mini in operation from this moment. You just have to start your session in OpenAI.
The summary of all this will not focus on technical issues of each system, but to the user experience. Greater competitiveness in the market always improves the quality that consumers receive in any environment in the world. This is not far behind, so the best thing that can happen to us is that they continue to compete with each other and that none shows an absolute quota.
