New o1 Model Features for Developers
The o1 model presents a range of new features designed to enhance your reasoning-based development experience. While some features may be familiar from other models, others are unique to o1. These include:
Vision Input: By incorporating vision input capabilities, o1 enhances its ability to process and analyze visual data, extracting valuable insights and producing comprehensive text outputs.
Developer Messages: Similar to system messages in GPT models, developer messages allow for the transmission of instructions and context for specific use cases using the “role”: “developer” attribute.
Reasoning Effort Parameter: This parameter lets you adjust the model’s cognitive load with low, medium, and high reasoning levels, providing more control over the model’s performance.

Expanded Context Window: The o1 model now features an expanded context window of 200K tokens and a maximum output of 100K tokens, allowing for detailed and complex responses.
Structured Outputs: o1 now supports structured outputs, simplifying the generation of well-defined outputs constrained by JSON schemas.
Tools: You can use the o1 model output to generate inputs for your functions, similar to previous models.
Lower Latency: On average, o1 uses 60% fewer reasoning tokens than o1-preview for a given request.
The introduction of tool support enhances agentic AI applications, enabling these models to plan, reason, and implement agentic tools to automate business processes. These new o1 features provide significant benefits to developers by improving customization, control, capacity, and insight into reasoning AI scenarios. Leveraging these advancements on Azure OpenAI Service ensures developers can utilize cutting-edge technology while maintaining enterprise-grade security and global compliance.
