OpenAI's o3 achieves near-perfect performance on long context benchmark

4 days ago | the-decoder.com | Matthias Bastian

One of the most compelling results in recent o3 benchmarks comes from its performance on long-context tasks. With support for up to 200,000 tokens, o3 is the first model to achieve a perfect 100 percent on the Fiction.live benchmark using 128,000 tokens—that’s roughly 96,000 words. For any language model working with sprawling narratives or massive documents, this is a significant leap forward.
