Investing.com -- OpenAI is reportedly gearing up to release new artificial intelligence (AI) models, potentially as early as this week, that can generate innovative ideas across various fields, ranging from nuclear fusion to pathogen detection, according to a report from The Information. The models, known as o3 and o4-mini, have been tested by a select group of individuals who were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.
These AI models are designed to bridge the gap between different disciplines to suggest novel types of experiments. If these models perform as initial testers indicate, they could present new solutions for AI customers, including the design and discovery of new materials or drugs. This could potentially draw interest from Fortune 500 companies, including oil and gas firms and commercial drug developers, as well as research lab scientists.
OpenAI, the creator of the ChatGPT, introduced reasoning models in September. These models are tailored to excel in problems with solutions that can be objectively verified, such as mathematical theorems. They also perform better when given more time to process answers. This shift towards reasoning models occurred last year as traditional methods of improving AI started to plateau.
The impending release of these models signifies a significant advancement in AI’s ability to brainstorm and generate new ideas, a task previously thought to be primarily human-led. This development indicates a significant step in AI’s capabilities, challenging the belief that humans would always be the primary source of new discoveries.
