OpenAI plans to release 'Strawberry' for ChatGPT in two weeks: report
According to a report by The Information, OpenAI is set to launch "Strawberry," a reasoning-focused artificial intelligence (AI), for its ChatGPT service within the next two weeks. The news, based on insights from two individuals who have tested the model, highlights the advancements being made in AI technology.
Advancements in AI Technology
Under the leadership of Sam Altman, OpenAI has generated significant interest and attracted substantial investments in the field of AI. This surge in attention is attributed to the potential for businesses to leverage AI technology to enhance their products and services.
OpenAI, a company backed by Microsoft, recently announced that it has surpassed one million paying users for its business solutions. The success of its chatbot, powered by a sophisticated large language model, has particularly contributed to this milestone.
Introducing Strawberry
What sets "Strawberry" apart from other conversational AI systems is its unique capability to engage in thoughtful reasoning before providing responses. Unlike traditional models that offer immediate answers, Strawberry is designed to pause and think through queries before formulating a reply.
Earlier in July, Reuters had exclusively disclosed OpenAI's project code-named Strawberry, which signaled a fresh direction for the development of AI models, particularly within the ChatGPT framework.
Future Implications
While Strawberry will operate within the ChatGPT ecosystem, it will be offered as a distinct standalone service. The specifics of this offering, however, remain undisclosed at this time.
In its initial release, Strawberry will focus solely on text inputs and outputs, without the ability to process images. This means that the AI model is not yet equipped to handle multimodal functionalities, as per The Information's report.
Requests for comments from Microsoft and OpenAI on these recent developments have yet to receive responses.
