New AI Reasoning Model Rivaling OpenAI Trained on Less Than $50 in Compute

A new language model named S1 has been developed by researchers at Stanford and the University of Washington, showcasing advanced reasoning capabilities while being trained on less than $50 in cloud compute credits. This model is positioned as a competitor to OpenAI's offerings, particularly its reasoning model, o1. S1 demonstrates its reasoning by breaking down complex questions into manageable parts, similar to how a human would approach problem-solving.

The training of S1 involved leveraging an existing Google model, Gemini 2.0, which provided a framework for reasoning through a limited dataset of curated questions. Researchers found that instructing S1 to 'wait' during its reasoning process improved its accuracy, indicating that there are still many opportunities for enhancing AI capabilities. The emergence of such low-cost models raises questions about the future of established AI companies like OpenAI and Google, as the landscape becomes increasingly competitive.

• S1 model trained for under $50 challenges existing AI models.

• Research shows adding 'wait' improves reasoning accuracy in AI.
