OpenAI: o1-pro

The OpenAI o1-pro model, released on March 19, 2025, is designed for complex reasoning through reinforcement learning. It exhibits strong reliability, successfully providing usable responses 88% of the time, indicating consistent technical performance. However, the model tends to have longer response times, ranking in the 3rd percentile for speed, and is positioned at premium pricing levels, ranking in the 0th percentile for cost-effectiveness. In terms of benchmark performance, the o1-pro model demonstrates a notable strength in Instruction Following, achieving 84.0% accuracy, placing it in the 93rd percentile. This suggests a high capability in precisely adhering to complex, multi-layered instructions. Its Email Classification accuracy is also respectable at 98.0%, performing around the average (52nd percentile). Conversely, the model shows weaknesses in Ethics and Coding benchmarks, with accuracies of 68.0% (18th percentile) and 75.0% (36th percentile) respectively. These areas, particularly Ethics, indicate room for improvement in nuanced understanding and application of principles. The high cost and duration across all benchmarks further underscore its premium positioning and slower processing.
