03:11 PM EDT, 09/12/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Microsoft ( MSFT )-backed (MSFT) OpenAI announced the launch of another artificial-intelligence model called the o1.

Available in preview, the model can "reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding and math," OpenAI said Thursday in a statement.

The early model lacks features that are available in ChatGPT, such as the ability to browse the web and upload files and images, OpenAI said.

A mini version of the new AI model called o1-mini is "a faster, cheaper reasoning model that is particularly effective at coding," OpenAI said.
