Microsoft has integrated OpenAI’s o1 model into its Copilot AI experience, making it accessible to all users at no cost through a new feature called “Think Deeper”. This addition enables users to access the model for free and explore various topics in-depth. The Think Deeper feature is available on the Copilot web-based chat and downloadable app.
To use the feature, users must have a Microsoft account and can log in using an easy sign-on option. Once signed in, users can click the “Think Deeper” icon to toggle it on and enter their prompts. The o1 model has been praised for its accuracy, including its ability to compute Mathematics Olympiad problems at 86% accuracy and providing PhD-level insights in STEM.
In a demo, Copilot provided not only the answer but also a psychological analysis, historical perspective, and fun facts about the problem, offering an extremely thorough result. This marks a significant change from OpenAI’s paid tiers, where the o1 model was exclusive to paid plans starting at $200 per month for ChatGPT Pro.
However, it’s worth noting that Microsoft 365 subscribers were recently alerted to a price increase for personal plans, which will take effect in the next renewal period. The integration of the o1 model into Copilot for free is an attractive move by Microsoft, but users should be aware of the upcoming pricing changes.
