OpenAI's new o1 model, designed with "enhanced reasoning," hides its full thought process from users, and gives policy warnings for asking about it.

Just days after launching its o1 models, OpenAI increases daily limits. Here's what you get now - free users included!

The gist is that perhaps o1 was devised to make use of the process-based reinforcement learning approach, especially since o1 also automatically makes use of chain-of-thought. Whereas generative AI usually requires a user to invoke chain-of-thought, o1 automatically does so. The user seemingly can’t prevent it from happening.
