TL;DR: In September 2024, OpenAI released o1, its first "reasoning model". This model exhibits remarkable test-time scaling laws, which complete a missing piece of the Bitter Lesson and open up a new axis for scaling compute. Following Rush and Ritter (2024) and Brown (2024a, 2024b), I explore four hypotheses for how o1 works and discuss some implications for future scaling and recursive self-improvement.
The Bitter Lesson(s)
The Bitter Lesson is that "general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective, and by a large margin." After a decade of scaling pretraining, it's easy to forget this lesson is not just about learning; it's also about search.
OpenAI didn't forget. Their new "reasoning model" o1 has figured out how to scale search during inference time. This does not use explicit search algorithms. Instead, o1 is trained via RL to get better at implicit search via chain of thought [...]
