This podcast discusses the release of OpenAI's 03 Pro model, which is described as their most powerful model to date. While it doesn't always stand out in benchmarks, it's favored by experts in fields like science, education, and programming for its robust and thorough responses. The model has shown a 64% win rate against the previous 03 model in human tests and has achieved a high ELO score in competitive programming. It also integrates various tools for web searching, data analysis, and image processing. Despite its power, 03 Pro is known for being slow, sometimes taking several minutes to respond to simple prompts, which has raised concerns about its efficiency and cost. However, its accuracy is high, as it can perfectly answer complex questions even with long thinking times. Industry reactions have been mixed, with some praising its strategic capabilities and others criticizing its slowness. (summary assisted by Gemini 2.5 Flash)
