Is ChatGTP Becoming Self Aware ?

With all apologies to the Terminator franchise, I posted this question because OpenAI announced today that the new 01 model can reason.

The OpenAI o1 model is part of a new series of AI models designed to enhance reasoning capabilities. Here are some key features:

Enhanced Reasoning: The o1 model is trained to spend more time thinking before responding, allowing it to handle complex tasks more effectively. This is achieved through reinforcement learning combined with chain of thought (CoT) reasoning³⁴.
Complex Problem Solving: It excels in areas like science, coding, and math. For example, in tests, the o1 model performed similarly to PhD students on challenging benchmark tasks in physics, chemistry, and biology².
Improved Safety: The model includes a new safety training approach that leverages its reasoning capabilities to better adhere to safety and alignment guidelines. This makes it more resistant to attempts to bypass safety rules².
Performance Metrics: In a qualifying exam for the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO), the o1 model scored 83%, compared to 13% for the previous GPT-4o model. It also reached the 89th percentile in coding competitions².
Availability: The o1 model is available in ChatGPT and through OpenAI’s API, with ongoing updates and improvements expected¹².

This new series represents a significant advancement in AI capabilities, particularly for tasks requiring deep reasoning and problem-solving.
