Can AI think? OpenAI's upcoming model might change the game
OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch its new artificial intelligence (AI) model, internally known as 'Strawberry,' by the end of this month. The upcoming AI model is said to possess enhanced reasoning and mathematical problem-solving skills. It will be integrated into ChatGPT and also be available as a standalone product. The Information reports that the Strawberry model is currently undergoing final internal testing, indicating an imminent beta or public release.
'Strawberry' AI model: A new generative technology
'Strawberry' is not a successor to GPT but a distinct model with additional features. It represents OpenAI's latest venture into generative AI technology, capable of thinking and tackling complex tasks that require multi-step problem solving. The Information suggests that the launch could occur within the next two weeks, based on information from unnamed individuals who have tested the model. However, it also notes that these plans are subject to change as release timelines often vary.
Unique features and potential applications
'Strawberry' is unique in that it reportedly does not immediately generate a response once prompted, but takes between 10 to 20 seconds before providing the output. This feature suggests a more thoughtful process behind its responses. The AI model will be accessible within OpenAI's native chatbot ChatGPT and as a separate offering, likely for clients who use the API version of the tool. However, details about how these two versions will be integrated and their potential differences remain unclear.
'Strawberry' AI model will be text-based at launch
At its initial release, the 'Strawberry' AI model will only support text, with no capabilities for images or videos. This limitation suggests that the primary focus of this new AI technology is on enhancing reasoning and problem-solving skills through textual data. The internal codename 'Strawberry' may be replaced with a different branding at launch, adding an element of anticipation to the upcoming release.
