1.1 Background: What is New with o1

Background: What is New with OpenAI o1 & LLMs Built on Transformer Architecture

  • OpenAI o1 & Chain-of-Thought Reasoning: a recent advancement in large language models (LLMs)
  • Based on Transformer architecture, which has evolved from early work like BERT and GPT to more advanced models such as GPT-3 and GPT-4
  • Shown significant proficiency in understanding context, generating human-like text, and performing complex reasoning tasks [91, 217, 215, 101, 111, 93, 51, 213, 70, 107, 182, 167, 106, 169]
  • Chain-of-Thought Reasoning: a recent advancement in LLMs that enables models to break down complex problems into intermediate steps, mirroring human-like problem solving
  • Enhances performance on tasks requiring multi-step reasoning or mathematical problem solving by generating a series of coherent thoughts leading to a conclusion
  • Compared to GPT-4, o1 explicitly incorporates chain-of-thought into its inference process, allowing it to "think before it answers" and produce more transparent explanations [129]

OpenAI o1 & Reinforcement Learning (RLHF)

  • Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF): a powerful technique that combines reinforcement learning principles with human preferences to fine-tune models
  • Involves supervised fine-tuning, reward modeling based on human preferences, and policy optimization through reinforcement learning [129]
  • OpenAI o1: employs advanced RLHF techniques which significantly evolve beyond traditional RLHF methods
  • Performs consistently better with more reinforcement learning (train-time compute) and more time spent thinking (test-time compute) [129]
  • Likely incorporates Chain-of-Thought reasoning into its reinforcement learning framework, allowing it to generate and evaluate multiple reasoning paths before producing a final output
  • Possibly implements a form of online learning or search that occurs at test time, refining reasoning strategies in real-time [129, 118]
  • Has mechanisms for self-reflection and improvement through a form of self-supervised learning, using the model's thoughts as training data for further enhancement [129, 118, 66]
  • Generates multiple candidate reasoning paths in parallel, which use reinforcement learning to score and select the most promising paths, similar to the Quiet-STaR method [205, 118]
  • Focuses on enhancing the model's reasoning capabilities during inference rather than solely aligning its outputs with human preferences during training.

  • o1-preview suggestion: "After studying in the United States for two years, my ambition and inspiration have gradually been replaced by homesickness. Whenever I have free time, I find myself recalling my hometown; it has become a habit I have adopted recently."

Case Study: Coherence Enhancement (Linguistic Fluency)

  • Original text: "I met my best friend in the middle school, but she left our school in the second year and went to New Zealand . We had many great memories together and we spent our most of time together in school as well. We have spent a lot of precious time together, remembering when we were running in the rain and laughing crazy at the same time. We used to like to go to the garden and the sidewalks around the school to appreciate different plants after we finished the school . And we liked to sing out loud in the hallway and discovered the secret tunnels in our school . So it was really hard for me to accept the fact that she has to leave the school and I have to deal with my school life without her. I remembered I feel sad every time I go pass by the places that we were used like to go in school . Sometimes the memories that I had with her would keep flashing back when I was walking around the school, then I would stop walking and started to think about her. Colors began to fade away in the days without her, but I still need to keep moving on."
