I can’t help but call out that o1-pro was great, it rarely took more than five minutes and I was almost never dissatisfied with the results per the wait. I happily paid for o1-pro the entire time it was available. Now, o3-pro is a relative disaster, often taking over 20 minutes just to refuse to follow directions and gaslight people about files being available for download that don’t exist, or provide simplified answers after waiting 20 minutes. It’s worse than useless when it actively wastes users time. I don’t see myself ever trusting OpenAI again after this “pro” subscription fiasco. To go from a great model to then just take it away and force an objectively terrible replacement, is definitely going the wrong way, when everyone else is improving (Gemini 2.5, Claude code with opus, etc). I can’t believe meta would pay a premium to poach the OpenAI people responsible for this severe regression.
I have never had o3-pro take longer than 6-8 minutes. How are you getting it to think for 20 minutes?! My results using it have also been great, but I never used o1-pro so I don't have that as a reference point.

This is the speculation, but then it wouldn't have to take much longer to answer than o3.
Interesting. I'd guess this technique should probably work with any SOTA model in an agentic tool loop. Fun!
