OpenAI is about to unveil its highly anticipated “Project Strawberry”, according to a series of rumors spread by Tom’s Guide. This project focuses on the development of an advanced reasoning-centered AI, a crucial step towards general artificial intelligence (AGI) that would enable machines to think and act similarly to a human being.
In social media, several clues would point to this announcement. Key figures from OpenAI, including its CEO, Sam Altman, have shared cryptic images and messages related to strawberries in recent days. Altman, for example, posted a picture of a strawberry plant with four strawberries on Twitter with the text “I love summer in the garden”, which has led some to speculate that it is a sign of a new version of GPT-4 focused on reasoning.
The first indications of “Project Strawberry” leaked in May, suggesting that this project will represent a milestone on the path towards generalized AI. Although it is not clear whether it will be integrated into an update of GPT-4 or if it will be a completely new model, what is known is that Strawberry could have advanced reasoning capabilities, something that previous models have struggled to achieve.
According to leaked documents from OpenAI, this AI model would allow ChatGPT to autonomously solve complex problems and verify its own results, which would represent a radical change in the management of highly complex tasks by AI.
In addition, this advancement is expected to have a significant impact at the user level, offering personalized recommendations and optimized budget creation. The tech community is excited, especially because this week Google is also hosting its event “Made by Google”, a context in which OpenAI has made big announcements in the past.
