Google is reportedly developing a new artificial intelligence, dubbed a “thinking AI,” designed to challenge OpenAI’s latest o1-preview and o1-mini models. As OpenAI continues to push boundaries with models that “spend more time thinking before they respond,” it seems Google is hot on their trail, working on an AI that could revolutionize problem-solving and reasoning abilities.
In August, OpenAI introduced these new models, highlighting their capacity to tackle complex, multi-step problems in areas like math and coding. Instead of offering quick responses, these AI models use advanced reasoning techniques to arrive at more accurate conclusions. This deep-reasoning approach is referred to as chain-of-thought prompting, where the AI takes time to weigh various options before reaching a final decision.
While Google has not yet commented officially on its own ‘thinking AI,’ sources from Bloomberg indicate that significant progress has been made in recent months. Industry experts believe this AI could become part of Google’s Gemini platform, a move that may help the company keep pace with OpenAI’s growing advancements.

The Power of Chain-of-Thought AI Models
Chain-of-thought prompting is at the core of these advanced AI models. This technique allows the AI to break down complex problems into smaller steps, reasoning through each one. When users interact with OpenAI’s o1-preview model, for example, they see a “thinking” message while the AI deliberates, improving the model’s ability to handle intricate tasks like solving riddles or performing advanced code analysis.
For now, the new o1 models from OpenAI are available only to subscribers, meaning users pay to experience the benefits of this ‘thinking AI’ firsthand. As Google continues its development, it’s likely that their AI offering may follow a similar premium subscription model, possibly integrated into the Gemini Advanced plan.

What Google’s ‘Thinking AI’ Could Mean for the Future
As Google inches closer to releasing its own thinking AI, the tech industry is buzzing with speculation. Will this model outperform OpenAI’s o1-preview? Can it offer more advanced reasoning capabilities or energy efficiency? Only time will tell.
For now, the race between OpenAI and Google to create the most sophisticated, human-like AI continues, with Google’s rumored ‘thinking AI’ poised to shake up the landscape. Stay tuned as both companies push the boundaries of what artificial intelligence can achieve.
