OpenAI is set to release its groundbreaking 'Strawberry' AI model, designed to enhance reasoning and complex problem-solving, arriving sooner than expected.
OpenAI is preparing to launch a new AI model called “Strawberry,” which focuses on improving reasoning capabilities. Unlike current models that offer immediate responses, Strawberry is designed to “think” before answering, providing more thoughtful and complex solutions. The AI will initially only support text-based input and output, with multimodal abilities expected in the future.
Since launching ChatGPT in November 2022, OpenAI has become a major force in the tech industry. By September, the company had seen a 67% increase in paid users across its various services, such as ChatGPT Enterprise, Team, and Edu, surpassing the 1 million user milestone. This growth has driven OpenAI to plan for premium subscription models, with prices rumored to reach as high as $2,000 per month for access to advanced models like Strawberry and Orion.
Strawberry’s release is expected within the next two weeks. The model is designed to scan the internet for in-depth research, allowing it to solve complex, real-world problems at scale. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, has been hinting at this release for some time, even posting cryptic messages on social media that sparked speculation among users. Initially slated for a November release, the model is arriving ahead of schedule.
Popular for its fast response times and multimodal capabilities, OpenAI’s GPT-4o remains the most advanced model available to the public. However, Strawberry aims to set a new benchmark by incorporating deep reasoning into AI interactions.
