I’ve been using R1 last few days and it’s noticeably worse than O1 at everything. It’s impressive, better than my latest Claude run (I stopped using Claude completely once O1 came out), but O1 is just flat out better.

Perhaps the gap is minor, but it feels large. I’m hesitant on getting O1 Pro, because using a worse model just seems impossible once you’ve experienced a better one

I have been using it to implement some papers from a scientific domain I'm not expert in- I'd say there were around same in output quality, with R1 having a slight advantage for exposing it's thought process, which has been really helpful for my learning.

The gap is quite large from my experience.

But the price gap is large too.

Examples please or it didn’t happen. I’d love to understand ‘noticeably’ in more detail, to try and repro.
