OpenAI says Operator Agent now uses the o3 model, which means it’s now significantly better at reasoning capabilities.For those unaware, Operator, which is still in research preview, allows users to delegate web tasks to the AI agent.You can use it to automate repetitive tasks, such as filling forms and ordering products.Operator isn’t exactly new and has been around since January 2025, but only those who pay for a $200 Pro and Enterprise subscription have access to it.I recently [reported](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/artificial-intelligence/openai-hints-at-a-big-upgrade-for-chatgpt-operator-agent/)that OpenAI is planning to improve Operator and turn it into a ‘very useful tool.’While we are yet to see any meaningful improvements to the UX, OpenAI [confirmed](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/1925963018791178732)that it has updated Operator to o3.Previously, the web Agent used 4o, a non-reasoning models to automate tasks. With o3, Operator is more persistent and accurate when interacting with the browser.’Now Operator is more persistent and accurate when interacting with the browser, improving overall task success rate. Responses are also more clear, thorough and better structured,’ the company noted.’Operator continues to be available as a research preview to ChatGPT Pro users globally. This upgraded model is only available in Operator in ChatGPT.’However, the question remains: would you pay $200 to automate grocery shopping and similar tasks? Most people won’t, and that’s why OpenAI is internally testing new ways to make the tool more useful.While Operator remains exclusive to the $200 Pro subscription, OpenAI has plans to release the feature for $20 Plus subscribers in the future.
