About OpenAI o1 & o1-mini

OpenAI o1-Preview is a developmental checkpoint in the ongoing training of the OpenAI o1 model, highlighting its potential but not yet representing the final release. This model is tailored for deep reasoning, helping solve complex problems in fields like science, math, and advanced coding.

OpenAI o1-preview:

• Focus: Deep multi-step reasoning across complex tasks.

• Strengths: Excels in science, mathematics, and coding challenges. It’s particularly good at step-by-step thinking, handling intricate tasks like advanced scientific modeling or solving difficult mathematical problems.

• Use Case: Ideal for scientific research, advanced coding solutions, and mathematical competitions requiring high precision.

OpenAI o1-mini

• Focus: Optimized for fast and cost-effective reasoning.

• Strengths: While slightly reduced in scope, o1-mini retains core reasoning capabilities and excels in coding tasks requiring efficiency.

• Use Case: Ideal for developers focusing on agile, cost-efficient solutions in coding, without sacrificing reasoning capabilities.

Hackathon Challenge

Participants are tasked with developing an AI-driven tool. Using OpenAI o1 or o1-mini that automates decision-making or problem-solving in real-world contexts. The key is to create innovative, AI-powered solutions for complex issues, using the deep reasoning capabilities of the o1 models.

• Automate Problem Solving: Use OpenAI o1’s ability to break down multi-step problems and provide logical, reasoned solutions.

• Develop Practical Applications: Focus on building tools that can make a meaningful impact in one of the suggested areas, but feel free to explore other fields where OpenAI o1's reasoning can solve complex real-world problems.

Key Requirements:

• Use OpenAI o1’s reasoning power: Ensure your tool takes full advantage of the multi-step, deep reasoning capabilities.

• Real-World Impact: The solution should address a practical problem that could be scaled or implemented in real-world settings.

Access OpenAI o1 with AI/ML API!

Hey builders! 🚀

Exciting news for the approved participants who created or joined a team for the hackathon! Thanks to our partner AI/ML API you have a chance to get exclusive FREE access to OpenAI's o1 models.

We’re giving away 1000 keys with $20 in AI/ML API credits, for the free subscription week with an access to o1-preview and o1-mini models to supercharge your AI projects! Access them by using a promo code that will be provided to approved participants via email.

With over 100 models from OpenAI o1 & o1-mini, LLama, Qwen and Flux, the AI/ML API covers all your needs, from image generation to computer vision with just one API. ✨

Here’s how you can get started:

• Read our article How to Access OpenAI's o1 Models and Who Can Use Them.

• Access free subscription week by registering on AI/ML API website, choosing the Startup plan and entering the promo code. Access will be available for one week from the Hackathon start.

• We recommend that participants monitor their token usage, as the o1-preview model is significantly more expensive than other language models. To manage costs more efficiently, we suggest using o1-mini model for prototyping.

• For the technical support, visit AI/ML API Discord.

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Credits are provided by AI/ML API and are subject to their delivery.

• Lablab is not responsible or liable if AI/ML API does not provide the credits.

• Please note that the AI/ML API is a subscription-based service. If you do not plan to continue using it after the hackathon, please remember to cancel your subscription to avoid any charges.
