Adding GPT o1-mini and o1-preview to PearAI

  1. Open your config.json file in PearAI through the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P).
  2. Add the following entries to the "models" array of your config and save the file (see example picture below):
    {
        "model": "o1-mini",
        "title": "GPTo1 Mini (PearAI)",
        "provider": "pearai_server",
        "isDefault": true
      },
      {
        "model": "o1-preview",
        "title": "GPTo1 Preview (PearAI)",
        "provider": "pearai_server",
        "isDefault": true
      }

Usage Considerations

  • Rate limits provided by OpenAI for these o1 models are currently lower compared to other options. For most tasks, it's still recommended to use Claude or GPT4o instead of o1 models due to these limitations.
  • When choosing between o1 models, prefer o1-mini over o1-preview. It will use fewer of your credits while providing similar performance.
  • Due to current rate limits, only annual subscribers of PearAI can use o1 models. We'll open it up to all subscribers soon!
