OpenAI announces o3 and o3-mini, its next simulated reasoning models

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently unveiled the new o3 and o3-mini AI reasoning models during the company's "12 days of OpenAI" event. Building on earlier o1 models, these new models utilize a concept called "private chain of thought," allowing for simulated reasoning by pausing to analyze internal dialogues before responding. While not yet publicly released, they will soon be available for safety testing and research access. Interestingly, the naming of the models skips "o2" due to trademark concerns.
