This is the mini version which is not as good as o1 and I don’t think they demoed in the o3 announcement. I’m hoping the full release will be impressive
I know this isn't the full o3 release, but I find it odd that they're branding it as o3 when it feels more like an update to o1 mini.
Yes, reasoning has improved, but the overall results haven't advanced as much as one would expect from a major version update.
It's highly unusual for OpenAI to release a milestone version like this - it feels more like a marketing move than a genuine upgrade.
Who knows what's going on behind closed doors?
If I put on my tinfoil hat for a moment, maybe Nvidia made a deal with OpenAI - offering a discount on computing power in exchange for a timely release.
OpenAI needs an enormous amount of computing power these days, and while Nvidia would take a financial hit by offering a discount to one of its biggest (if not the biggest) customers, that's still nowhere near as costly as losing 600 billion.

More likely, there's other work that the employee could be doing that will help your company grow
Not really necessary. A reasonable person would take it exactly how it was intended: "Canada will ban all single use plastics (except where health or safety are at stake)." It's kind of, you know, implied.
Of course they're not going to require that hospitals re-use syringes and the like.
That compound in particular is used to help replace a C-OH bond with a C-CN bond. It may seem like a weird chemical but it's very commonly used in organic synthesis.
> Why wouldn't the same but with a more typical fully-carbon backbone work?
Because a fully carbon backbone would not be as reactive and would not attach/detach from the intermediate as needed
