OpenAI's Chain of Thought Update

OpenAI has introduced an enhanced chain of thought feature for its O3 Mini model, enabling users to better understand the reasoning process behind its responses. This update comes as a competitive response to DeepSeq's successful launch, which demonstrated a strong appeal due to its visible thought process. While OpenAI maintains that full reasoning samples will not be available for safety reasons, the new feature aims to build trust among users by providing transparency in model outputs. By allowing users to follow the model's reasoning, OpenAI seeks to improve clarity and confidence in its AI functionalities.
