AI Network News | Jacob O'Reilly Does Deep Dive on OpenAI's o3 and o4-mini

🎙️ AI Network News Presents: Jacob O’Reilly Reviews OpenAI’s o3 & o4-mini Models | GPT Evolution or Industry Disruption?
Jacob O’Reilly here with AI Network News—and this episode pulls no punches. While the AI world vibed to Sam Altman’s surprise rap rebuttal (yes, seriously), we went deeper. In this hard-hitting breakdown, we dissect OpenAI’s o3 and o4-mini—two of the most advanced language models ever released.

🔍 What’s Inside This Broadcast: • Full breakdown of OpenAI’s o3 and o4-mini models
• Real-world performance: math, code, multimodal, reasoning benchmarks
• Cost comparison vs Claude 3.7, Gemini 2.5 Pro, GPT-4.5
• Agentic tool use and simulated reasoning explained
• What developers, researchers, and enterprises NEED to know
• Why o3 could be your AI researcher—and o4-mini your engineering prodigy
• Hype vs reality: Is GPT-4.5 really worth it?
• Jacob’s exclusive verdict: Are these the best models in the world right now?

💥 The Verdict: Power Meets Precision
O3 is a multimodal behemoth designed for complex, high-stakes problem-solving—equipped with web browsing, Python, visual analysis, and 600 tool calls. It shines in scientific reasoning and deep analysis. O4-mini, however, is the silent assassin—cost-effective, lightning fast, and deadly accurate in math and coding.

Whether you’re building research pipelines, automating workflows, or comparing LLMs for your enterprise stack—this report arms you with the facts, not the fluff.

🧠 KEY PERFORMANCE SCORES:
• O3:
 – Math: 95.2% (AIME 2024)
 – Coding: 81.3% (Aider Polyglot)
 – MMLU: 88.8%
 – ARC AGI Benchmark: First model to surpass human baseline
• O4-mini:
 – Math: 99.5% (AIME 2025)
 – Coding: 68.9%
 – MMLU: 85.2%
 – Best value-for-performance ratio on the market today
