OpenAI is reportedly set to release a brand new artificial intelligence (AI) model called "Strawberry" that can do more complicated thinking tasks like solving tricky math problems and coding puzzles.
According to a source, who knows the project but wants to remain anonymous, Strawberry might be available to a small group of users as early as this week. However, the exact date of release has not been disclosed.
OpenAI's New AI Model 'Strawberry'
Strawberry is an exciting development for OpenAI as the company tries to make its AI tools better and better, and this new model is a big step forward. Right now, many people are waiting to witness how the new AI model works.
OpenAI is also seeking to raise money to help with its research and to keep up with other companies that also work on smart AI models, like Anthropic and Google.
Strawberry is expected to bring a new level of AI interactions. Unlike current models, like ChatGPT, Strawberry will use a method called "chain of thought" prompt. This approach involves the AI pause for few seconds to consider multiple related queries before providing a response, according to Bloomberg.
The method aims to enhance the accuracy of responses by allowing the AI to process information more deeply and deliver more precise answers. The new AI model is reportedly better at handling a task, like numerical comparisons, that is still a challenging task to existing AI systems.
What's Next?
OpenAI's focus on improving reasoning abilities in AI is not news. In May 2023, the company published a research highlighting efforts to enhance AI's mathematical problem-solving skills. This research involved training AI models by rewarding correct steps in problem-solving processes rather than just the final answer.
The company has also been actively discussing its advancements in public forums, including a forthcoming TED AI event where OpenAI's Noam Brown will speak about generative AI and multi-step reasoning agents.
OpenAI's efforts to advance AI technology come amid a broader industry push towards enhancing AI capabilities. However, there are some concerns about an "AI bubble" and waning investor interest, successful implementation of advanced reasoning in AI models like Strawberry could rekindle enthusiasm in the field.
The upcoming Dev Day on October 1 in San Francisco is expected to provide more information about Strawberry and other developments at OpenAI, according to Mashable.
