OpenAI continued its 12 Days of OpenAI campaign, which features daily live streams highlighting new features or product announcements every weekday for two weeks. On the second day, the focus was on enterprises, unveiling a new capability called “reinforced fine-tuning” for the o1-Mini model.
Reinforced Fine-Tuning for o1-Mini
OpenAI announced that enterprises can now fine-tune the o1-Mini model for their specific domain-specific tasks using a new method called reinforced fine-tuning. This means that organizations can train the AI on their own specialized data, making it smarter for specific tasks rather than relying solely on general knowledge.
For example, researchers can fine-tune the model to better understand complex scientific data, such as identifying genes linked to diseases. Another example is when lawyers can fine-tune it for deeper insights into case law.
According to OpenAI, reinforced fine-tuning offers the possibility of making a smaller version of the model, like o1-Mini, even more effective than the full o1 model due to its specialized training.
Unlike yesterday’s announcement, where the o1 model and ChatGPT Pro subscription were made available immediately, this fine-tuning option is still in the research phase and will be available next year. However, if you are interested, you can apply to be part of OpenAI’s Reinforcement Fine-Tuning Research Program using this link – limited spots are available.

What’s Next?
Day two of the 12 Days of OpenAI introduced reinforced fine-tuning, a feature mainly useful for research purposes and enterprises. Although it has the potential to make AI more useful across different industries, this capability may not be relevant to most users. Even yesterday’s o1 model announcement was similar in this regard.
We’re looking forward to what Day three brings—maybe this time we’ll see something more user-focused, such as Sora or Canvas upgrades. As weekends are part of this 12 day campaign, it will be on Monday 10amPT. Stay tuned as we keep up with every new announcement OpenAI makes during these 12 days.
