"Truly magical" ChatGPT feature comes to Microsoft Copilot — and it's free!
Microsoft has announced the integration of OpenAI's o1 reasoning model into Copilot, providing users with a powerful new feature called "Think Deeper." This mode, previously available only to Copilot Pro subscribers, is now accessible to all users at no additional cost.
What is Think Deeper?
Think Deeper leverages OpenAI's advanced reasoning model to enhance Copilot's capabilities, enabling users to tackle more complex tasks and receive more logical responses. Unlike traditional AI models, which may provide quick but less detailed answers, reasoning models like o1 take a more in-depth approach, breaking down information step-by-step for accurate outcomes.
According to Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, Think Deeper is a game-changer, offering users a truly magical experience. By utilizing this feature, users can expect to receive comprehensive and well-thought-out responses to their queries, making it ideal for tasks such as coding, project planning, and deep dives into dense topics.
Accessible to All
Previously restricted to premium subscribers, Think Deeper is now available to all Copilot users via the AI's web portal or dedicated app on iOS and Android devices. By simply clicking on the "Think Deeper" button within the prompt bar, users can start leveraging the power of this advanced reasoning model.
Competition in the AI Space
The release of Think Deeper by Microsoft comes at a time of heightened interest in reasoning models like o1. With the rise of competitors such as DeepSeek and its R1 reasoning model, Microsoft's strategic move to offer a powerful reasoning model for free aims to maintain its competitive edge in the AI landscape.
Despite the competition, Microsoft continues to expand its AI offerings, with the recent addition of DeepSeek-R1 to its Azure AI Foundry. This move, while enhancing Microsoft's AI capabilities, has also raised concerns regarding data handling, privacy issues, and the transparency of training processes.
Looking Ahead
As users explore the possibilities of Think Deeper within Copilot, the AI landscape continues to evolve with the introduction of advanced reasoning models. Whether it's for developing fitness routines, managing product launches, or tackling complex projects, the integration of OpenAI's o1 model brings a new level of sophistication to Microsoft Copilot, setting the stage for innovative AI-driven solutions.
