OpenAI's O-Series Models: A Deep Dive into Deliberative Alignment and Synthetic Data
OpenAI recently unveiled its groundbreaking o3 model, touted as a significant leap forward in AI reasoning capabilities. This advancement is attributed to a novel approach to AI safety: deliberative alignment. This technique, employed in training the o1 and o3 models, involves instructing the AI to "think" about OpenAI's safety policies during the inference process. Deliberative Alignment: A New Paradigm in AI Safety Traditionally, AI safety measures are primarily implemented during pre-training and post-training phases. However, deliberative alignment introduces a novel approach by integrating safety considerations directly into the inference stage. How it Works: After receiving a user prompt, the o-series models engage in a "chain-of-thought" process, breaking down the problem into smaller, more manageable steps. Crucially, these models are trained to incorporate relevant sections of OpenAI's safety policy into this chain-of-thought. This internal deliberati…
