big news: the free tier of chatgpt is going to get o3-mini!

(and the plus tier will get tons of o3-mini usage)

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced today on January 23 that the free tier of ChatGPT will now use the o3-mini model, marking a significant shift in how the popular AI chatbot serves its base. In the same tweet announcing the change, Altman revealed that paid subscribers to ChatGPT Plus and Pro plans will enjoy “tons of o3-mini usage,” giving people an incentive to move to a paid with the company.

The o3-mini model is part of OpenAI’s latest advancements in its generative AI technology. Although smaller in scale compared to the flagship GPT-4-turbo model, o3-mini promises faster response times, reduced computational requirements, and the ability to handle simpler queries with ease.

This move aims to improve the experience for free-tier s while allocating resources, like GPT-4-turbo, for paid subscribers who rely on the platform for professional and intensive use cases.

This update comes shortly after ChatGPT went down on Thursday, January, 23, at a time when OpenAI is focusing on balancing resource demands. ChatGPT’s free tier has historically been powered by earlier versions of GPT models, but integrating o3-mini represents a strategic pivot toward efficiency. It’s designed to serve the needs of everyday s with lightweight tasks like casual queries, brainstorming, and conversational interaction.

FACT

it's funny how a chinese company (DeepSeek) forces the US company (openAI) to kneel down and offer their latest model, o3-mini, for free to s

agree?

No point when I have Meta AI on my phone already. Watch Nairaland get taken over with AI write-ups. Speeding up the dead internet theory.

They’re doing this for now in a bid to improve the software using participation. When it becomes advanced enough, they’ll lock it behind a service firewall. Oyibo na the legal Yahoo. Africans will forever remain follower-slaves.

OpenAI offering the o3-mini for free to s is likely a move to gather more data, improve the model, and make it even better. With DeepSeek and other competitors pushing hard, OpenAI has to stay competitive.

Its scary how fast humans are adapting AI, and we are depending on it so much, hmm, a few years ago when i said AI will take peoples Job, some said it will take many years, see, just in few years, AI is a monster. I hate AI and i like AI, it threatens me but also gives me oppurtunities.

Software development, music, graphic designs, but one can also use it to create same Jobs.


It threatens all Job, even doctors, lawyers, because one person can do a lot more work so more people are not needed.

Once Optimus robots come to the scene, it will get very bad for Job oppurtunities.

AI can create movies and its getting so good undecided undecided undecided, but smart people can use it to create oppurtunities to tell good stories.


But so far, i enjoy AI lo, enjoy it while it lasts. grin grin

Imagine Robots with AI brain doing all the work, so what will humans be doing and what if i cannot afford the Robots undecided undecided
