Following a surge in popularity for Chinese AI app Deepseek and its free reasoning model this week, frequent OpenAI collaborator Microsoft is helping Americaās AI leader drop the paywall on its own reasoning model, giving all Copilot users free access to OpenAI o1.
Notice the distinct lack of a āPlusā or āProā after āCopilot.ā You wonāt need specialized hardware for this, nor will you need a ChatGPT or Copilot subscription. The news came via a LinkedIn post from Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, wherein the executive said Copilotās āThink Deeperā feature is now āfree and available for all users of Copilot.ā
Think Deeper began testing in October and essentially gives the chatbot more time (about 30 seconds) to consider your request before providing an answer. It doesnāt have access to the internet, so it canāt search for real-time information, but in turn, it can walk you through the steps it took to arrive at an answer, and will supposedly self-correct.
The goal here is to make the AI better at handling complex topics and STEM-related promptsāfor example, OpenAI says that o1 can solve 83% of problems on the International Mathematics Olympiad, while non-reasoning model GPT-4o can only solve 13%.
To use Think Deeper in Copilot, simply click or tap the āThink Deeperā button while entering your prompt. If you donāt see it, it might take a little bit to roll out to youāIām also in the same boat.
Suleyman didnāt specify any limits to the new o1 model access, although Iād assume theyāre the same as the free version of Copilotās other limits, which means you might not have access during peak times. But itās still a better deal than on ChatGPTās own site, where limited o1 access costs $20 a month and unlimited access costs $200 a month.
The sudden shift towards a free option for o1 canāt help but feel like a response to Deepseekās R1, which that company claimed matched o1 on several metrics. But whatever decisions are being made behind the scenes at OpenAI and Microsoft, the timing couldnāt be better for usersāDeepseek is already facing severe privacy issues, including chat logs that were left exposed for anyone to see.
That said, Microsoft is still playing as many angles as it can here. While Microsoft services have yet to make Deepseek R1 immediately available to consumers, itās already been integrated into Microsoftās AI developer tools.
