How To Get Access To OpenAI o1-mini
It took me a while to get this information from the official press release, so this is how you can get the access:
As of now, you must be a tier 5 API user, which in short means that you are spending at least 1000$ per month on the API
Check the available models you have by running curl:
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/models -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"
in the response you should see o1-preview or o1-mini.
- If you have the model available, you can start using it:
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-d "{
\"model\": \"o1-preview\",
\"messages\": [
{
\"role\": \"user\",
\"content\": \"Write a bash script that takes a matrix represented as a string with format '[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]' and prints the transpose in the same format.\"
}
]
}"
Alternative way for everyone
As you can see for most people o1-mini is not widely available. Good thing is that you can already get you hands on it via paid providers like Openrouter
