Breitbart: Comrade AI: OpenAI's 'o1' Reasoning Model Mysteriously 'Thinks' in Chinese
OpenAI's new reasoning AI model, o1, has been observed to switch languages unexpectedly while solving problems, sometimes "thinking" in Chinese or other languages despite prompts being in English. This behavior has puzzled users and sparked discussions within the AI community.
Experts propose various theories, with some suggesting that the model's training data may influence its language use. Others argue that the model's language switches could be due to its internal processing of tokens rather than a conscious choice. The lack of transparency in AI development raises concerns about understanding such behaviors.
