After starting the AI boom with the release of ChatGPT 3 in May 2020, OpenAI is now working on a novel approach to its artificial intelligence models in a project code-named “Strawberry”.
The project comes as the Microsoft-backed startup races to show that the types of models it offers are capable of delivering advanced reasoning capabilities, and to challenge many criticisms of its models and LLMs in general regarding their efficacy or if they can even be considered “True AI” at all.
Teams inside OpenAI are working on Strawberry, according to a copy of a recent internal OpenAI document, the project appears to still be a work in progress, and how this model works is a tightly kept secret within the organization.
The document describes a project that uses Strawberry models with the aim of enabling the company’s AI to not just generate answers to queries but to plan ahead enough to navigate the internet autonomously and reliably to perform what OpenAI terms “deep research”, which is something that has eluded AI LLM models to date.
On Tuesday at an internal all-hands meeting, OpenAI showed a demo of a research project that it claimed had new human-like reasoning skills, according to Bloomberg. An OpenAI spokesperson confirmed the meeting but declined to give details of the contents.
This kind of technology, if realized, could spark a second AI boom and propel the industry even further, defying some sentiments that the industry is in its “.com bubble phase”.
