OpenAI announces new o3 models

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced o3 and o3-mini, the successors to its o1 and o1-mini “reasoning” models. The company is not publicly launching these models and is instead starting public safety testing.

Why call the new model o3, not o2? Well, trademarks may be to blame. According to The Information, OpenAI skipped o2 to avoid a potential conflict with British telecom provider O2.

You can now call ChatGPT from a landline

In an effort to make ChatGPT accessible to as many people as possible, OpenAI announced a 1-800 number to call ChatGPT — even from a landline or a flip phone. Users can call 1-800-242-8478 (1-800-CHATGPT), and OpenAI’s AI-powered assistant will respond to your queries in an experience that is more or less identical to Advanced Voice Mode — minus the multimodality.

OpenAI is offering 15 minutes of free calling for U.S. users. The company notes that standard carrier fees may apply.

OpenAI brings Search to all users

OpenAI’s reveal today is bringing ChatGPT Search to all free users. Search gives ChatGPT the ability to access real-time information on the web to better answer your queries, but was only available for paid users when it launched in October. Not only is Search available now for free users, but it’s also been integrated into Advanced Voice Mode.

OpenAI also teased what’s in store for tomorrow: a “mini” Dev Day with announcements tailored to developers.
