o3-mini

Run o3-mini in a hosted Python Task with file inputs.

Small reasoning model optimized for science, math, and coding tasks. Offers efficient complex reasoning at lower computational cost.

Upcoming retirement

This model retires on October 23, 2026. Plan a move to a newer model before then.

What is qbash?

qbash is where you build Tasks: Python programs that run a business process on managed infrastructure. Your code runs the steps and calls a model like o3-mini only at the ones that need judgment, with integrations, memory and files available in the same script.

A developer writes the Task once, and anyone on the team runs it from a form, on a schedule, from a webhook or from chat. Each Task is versioned and every run is logged.

Use o3-mini in a Python Task

qbash.ai.raw calls o3-mini from a Task and returns its reply as a string.

main.py
notes = qbash.inputs.get("notes")

summary = qbash.ai.raw(
f"Summarize these meeting notes in five bullets:\n\n{notes}",
model="o3-mini",
system="You are a concise analyst.",
)

qbash.output({"summary": summary})
