Microsoft has made OpenAI's o1 model free for all Copilot users, The Verge writes .
The advanced capabilities of this AI model, previously available only to Copilot Pro or ChatGPT Plus subscribers, are now open to all users.
The o1 model, which powers the Think Deeper feature, allows Copilot to analyze complex questions and generate deeper answers. The feature can take up to 30 seconds to process a question and is useful for tasks that require logical analysis, comparing options, writing code, or planning complex routes.
Microsoft first introduced Think Deeper in October 2024 as part of Copilot Labs, where new experimental AI features are tested. It works similarly to ChatGPT Plus, offering step-by-step explanations for complex queries.
Recall that earlier Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that Chinese AI startup DeepSeek (R1 model) has "some real innovations." After that, the company added DeepSeek to its Azure AI Foundry list of more than 1,800 models that can be used to develop and manage AI programs. Before that, information appeared that Microsoft is investigating whether a group associated with DeepSeek obtained raw data from OpenAI technology without permission.
About DeepSeek
DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence lab funded largely by High-Flyer Capital Management, recently gained popularity after its chatbot rose to the top of the Apple App Store charts .
DeepSeek’s language models, which were trained using efficient computational methods, have many analysts and technologists in the West wondering whether the US can maintain its lead in the AI race and whether demand for AI chips will persist. The worry has sent tech stocks, including top graphics processor maker Nvidia, tumbling , and Mark Zuckerberg hastening to announce that Meta plans to invest $60 billion in AI by 2025 .
The hype around DeepSeek became so great that even monobank co-founder Oleg Gorohovsky and the head of the Ministry of Digital Affairs, Mykhailo Fedorov, wrote cryptic, laconic posts about the startup. The latter later published a more detailed post on Telegram.
“We think DeepSeek is more of an evolution than a revolution: they have successfully combined existing developments and done it cheaper. But this is unlikely to affect the race to create AGI (super AI), which remains the main goal of the industry. The current market reaction may be exaggerated, but investors are starting to think about the effectiveness of large expenditures in AI (remember 500 billion on Stargate),” Fedorov noted.
