o3-mini launched on January 31, 2025 as a small reasoning model for math, science, and coding. At launch, OpenAI increased the daily ChatGPT Plus and Team limit from 50 messages with o1-mini to 150 with o3-mini. It was the first small reasoning model in the series to support function calling, structured outputs, and developer messages in the API.

Its reasoning effort can be set to three levels. o3-mini does not accept image inputs. It replaced o1-mini in the ChatGPT model picker and was later succeeded by o4-mini.
