Was just solving an extremely algebra heavy integral, getting an answer slightly different than o1-mini and my integral calculator, and it was literally driving me up a wall.
All I did was tell it the approach that I used, which was different from its, and 2 sets of intermediate terms before I arrived at my final answer. I asked it to use this to find which component I had done incorrectly and after 19 seconds of thinking it had found a mistake in my calculations that I couldn’t find after tracing through my work several times. The terms of the evaluation are extremely ugly fractions and previous models would just hallucinate the answer to begin with, and couldn’t even come close to identifying a minute error.
For some tasks you don’t feel an improvement over 4o, but for the ones that you do, it can feel like using actual magic.
