OpenAI Drops o3-Pro: Cheaper, Smarter, and Gunning for Google & Anthropic
2 min read OpenAI drops o3-Pro: smarter reasoning, PhD-level math & science dominance, 80% price cut, and full tool access (web, data). The AI model war just got serious. 🔥 June 11, 2025 13:56
OpenAI has officially launched o3-Pro, a major upgrade to its reasoning model that’s not only outperforming competitors on critical benchmarks — but also arriving with an eye-popping 80% price cut. It’s a direct shot at Google and Anthropic’s leading frontier models.
The Details:
-
Built to "think longer": o3-Pro delivers stronger reasoning, boosting accuracy in technical fields like math, science, and programming.
-
Benchmark dominance: The model outperforms top rivals on PhD-level math and science tasks, with human evaluators consistently preferring o3-Pro across every tested category.
-
Smarter tools, some trade-offs: It can tap into tools like web search and data analysis, but remains slower and lacks support for features like image generation and Canvas.
-
Rolling out fast: ChatGPT Pro and Team users get it now, with Enterprise and Edu customers following next week.
Why it matters:
According to tester Ben Hylak, o3-Pro feels “much smarter” than its predecessor and “very different” from other cutting-edge models. But perhaps the biggest shock isn’t the performance — it’s the price. OpenAI is delivering a massive leap in capability at a fraction of previous costs, throwing down the gauntlet in the ongoing AI model war.
