User reports OpenAI o1 web client crashes under complex research loads
Dogbold · reddit · 2026-08-16
A user reported severe stability issues when using OpenAI o1 for web searches to find obscure content (like old anime and cartoons).
- Issue: While o1's search capability is excellent, the extensive searching and computation cause the web and mobile apps to freeze repeatedly.
- Details: Initial attempts with "Work mode" worked, but as chat history grew, opening the conversation causes the interface to become unresponsive.
- Impact: The user cannot continue complex research tasks and is unsure how to use the code interface to bypass the limitation.
