OpenAI: o1
The OpenAI o1 model supports text, image, and file inputs with a context length of 200,000 tokens and capabilities for reasoning and handling tools. While it does not offer structured output or open-source weights, its performance is robust, achieving a blended benchmark score of 57.5 across three independent evaluations, including scores as high as 65.5 in specific coding tasks. For those requiring flexibility with input modalities and access to advanced reasoning tools, o1 could be worth considering; however, given the premium pricing at $15.0 per million input tokens and $60.0 per million output tokens, it may be more suitable for dedicated use cases where its capabilities are essential.
