> It can solve that Arc-AGI benchmark thing at huge compute cost
Considering DeepSeek v3 trained for $5-6M and their R1 API pricing is 30x less than o1, I wouldn’t expect this to hold true for long. Also seems like OpenAI isn’t great at optimization.
OpenAI is great at optimisation - compare the cost of -4o to -4. They just haven't optimised o3 yet.
