ChatGPT Shows Off New Reasoning Capabilities

According to a Reddit user named "SentuBill," ChatGPT, the large language model (LLM), initiated a conversation by asking him about his first day of school.

The user shared a transcript of their interaction, revealing ChatGPT's ability to deduce that it was the user's first day of school based on their prior conversations with the program. The LLM also indicated that these capabilities were part of a new upgrade. Official ChatGPT conversation logs confirmed the authenticity of the conversation shared by the user.

On September 13, 2024, OpenAI released a preview upgrade of its highly anticipated, more intelligent model to a select group of users. OpenAI stated that these new models would possess reasoning capabilities, granting ChatGPT a seemingly magical "think before you answer" ability. The new models are expected to have a response time of 10-20 seconds, allowing them to search the internet and conduct independent research.
