OpenAI has started the holidays early with the launch of a 12-day event called “12 days of OpenAI”. Each day over the next week or so, OpenAI will be unveiling new updates to existing products as well as new software, including the much-anticipated Sora AI video generator.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said that there will be daily live streams with a launch or demo each day, “some big ones and some stocking stuffers”.
The company kickstarted the festivities with the huge unveiling of the o1 reasoning model as well as a new business tier of ChatGPT, called ChatGPT Pro. That’s not a bad start, and we fully expect to see even more huge reveals throughout the event.
We’re here to cover everything “12 days of OpenAI” throughout the coming days, so grab a cup of hot beverage, sit back, and relax, as we uncover the next era of OpenAI software.
LIVE UPDATES
Welcome to TechRadar’s “12 days of OpenAI” live blog, where our resident AI experts will be taking you through the next 12 (well, 11) days of everything exciting coming out of the world’s most famous AI company.
What will Sam Altman reveal? How will these new updates and products change the way we use artificial intelligence? Who knows, but we’re incredibly excited to find out.
Yesterday, OpenAI kicked off the 12-day event with the announcement that the company’s o1 reasoning model would no longer be in preview, ready for everyone to try.
The AI model thrives with scientific equations and math problems with OpenAI saying o1 can solve 83% of the problems in the International Mathematics Olympiad qualifying exam, a massive improvement on GPT-4o, which only scored 13%. The new model makes fewer errors than the preview version, cutting down on major mistakes by 34%.
That wasn’t the only reveal, however…
OpenAI also announced ChatGPT Pro yesterday, but who is it actually aimed at?
For $200/month ChatGPT Pro gives you unlimited usage and an even smarter version of o1 with “more benefits to come!”
The fact is that for almost everybody the current $20 a month ChatGPT Plus option will be easily sufficient. Perhaps it can do special things (like writing “David Mayer” with no problems), but it seems hard to justify beyond a select few users who need massive computing power. To me, the $200 price point seems more like a price anchor. Essentially, it makes the $20 ChatGPT Plus price point look really good value.
One of the biggest announcements we expect to see over the next week or so is the official launch of Sora, OpenAI’s video generator which can transform a text prompt into an incredible video.
Sora was leaked last month by unhappy artists who have accused OpenAI of taking advantage for unpaid research and development purposes. There’s definitely a debate to be had on how OpenAI trains its AI models, but that’s maybe one for another day.
In terms of what Sora offers, well, imagine one of the best AI image generators, but video. I’ve not tried Sora yet, but from the demos online, it looks pretty awesome.
What are TechRadar’s predictions for day 2 of OpenAI’s “12 days of OpenAI” I hear you cry? Well, Sam Altman said that we can expect “some big ones and some stocking stuffers” throughout the 12 days, and considering that yesterday we got a brand new version of ChatGPT (ChatGPT o1) I’d predict that today’s Xmas gift from OpenAI will be more of a “stocking stuffer” than one of the “big ones”.
Perhaps a minor update to ChatGPT search or ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode. What am I really hoping for? I want ChatGPT search to be rolled out to all users on the free tier. Fingers crossed!
OpenAI’s next livestream kicks off at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 6 pm GMT and you can watch it live directly from OpenAI’s website.
If you go to the “12 days of OpenAI” section of the website right now, you’ll see a gorgeous advent calendar, hinting at the exciting days to come. Just like an advent calendar, some days will be better than others, so I’m very intrigued to see if OpenAI keeps up the momentum or if today isn’t quite as stellar as yesterday.
Bookmark that link too, as you’ll be able to revisit all the highlights from the events even if you miss one of the livestreams. Or, you could keep checking in with TechRadar as we’ll keep you up to date on everything you need to know over the next week or so.

If you’re just joining us, OpenAI announced the official launch of o1 yesterday, with a “faster, more powerful reasoning model that’s better at coding, math & writing.”
If you want to try it out yourself, just head to ChatGPT and choose the o1 model from the dropdown. Give it a try on your math homework, or a coding challenge, you might be surprised by the results.
