Getting Started with OpenAI o1

OpenAI o1 is available through our API and in ChatGPT. To get started:

1. Sign up for an OpenAI API account if you haven't already.
2. Navigate to the API keys page to create an API key.
3. Use the API key in your requests to authenticate with the API.

Using OpenAI o1 via API

Here's a simple example of how to use OpenAI o1 via the API:

import openai

openai.api_key = "your-api-key-here"

response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="o1-preview",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain the concept of quantum entanglement."}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
            

This example sends a request to the o1-preview model asking it to explain quantum entanglement.

Using OpenAI o1 in ChatGPT

If you have access to ChatGPT, you can use OpenAI o1 directly in the chat interface:

2. Start a new chat or continue an existing one.
3. In the model selector, choose "o1-preview" if available.
4. Start chatting with o1 as you would with other ChatGPT models.

Best Practices

• Be specific and clear in your prompts to get the best results from o1.
• For complex tasks, break them down into smaller steps and guide o1 through the process.
• Experiment with different prompts and approaches to find what works best for your use case.
• Remember that o1 is a preview model and may be updated or changed over time.

Limitations and Considerations

• o1 is a powerful model, but it's not infallible. Always verify important information.
• The model's knowledge cutoff date may limit its awareness of very recent events or developments.
• Be mindful of potential biases in the model's outputs.
• Respect OpenAI's usage policies and guidelines when using o1.
