Helloā¦Hello,
Welcome to the whirlwind. ChatGPT released its Reasoning model called o1-preview. Itās an early release, but itās the starting point of the move to AI Agents for OpenAI users.
Why do we care? šš¼
o1 is AI doing Chain of thought prompting for you. Itās not a true agent, but OpenAI is starting to train us on how to use this new, deeper reasoning.
This will get you better results with fewer hallucinations.
Here are the initial reviews on o1:
Among other things, SEO is EXTREMELY time-consumingā¦
Thatās why we use Koala.
It can:
Run AI-Powered SERP analysis and extract up to 100 topically relevant keywords for you.
Generate SEO-friendly articles with real-time data from search results.
One-click publish to WordPress.
I expect things to accelerate from here as Google, Claude, and Meta/Llama will all need to respond in the months to follow.
Warning!
You are not going to love using o1, yet as 4o will often do better for you. Why? o1 is 30x slower, limited, and not multi-modal.
But it is the future of prompting. Over the next 12 months, it will become cheaper, faster, and more relevant.
Which model should you use?
For your day-to-day use, Iām still using Chat GPT 4o and Claude. For more complex issues, Iām testing o1. Iām blown away 35% of the time and disappointed 65% of the time today because Iām not a coder. If you code o1, it will be more important in your life.
Whatās next?
ChatGPT has been with us for two years this fall. Itās OK to be overwhelmed with this pace of change. It will continue to accelerate, which means being disciplined with your time and getting the right tool for the problem at hand.
Iām not smart enough to tell you who will win this race, but I do know that those who have built skills with AI will have a sustainable advantage.
Please take 15 minutes and prompt o1 with a big issue each week.
