ChatGPT creator privately develops new sort of AI

(MENAFN) OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT, is reportedly engaged in a groundbreaking initiative to advance its artificial intelligence technology, according to a recent Reuters report. This project, referred to internally as 'Strawberry,' seeks to significantly enhance the reasoning capabilities of its AI models, with support from Microsoft.

Details about the Strawberry initiative remain closely guarded, even within OpenAI, as it employs a "specialized way" of processing AI models post-training on extensive datasets. The ultimate goal is to enable AI not only to generate responses to user queries but also to perform "deep research" by autonomously and reliably navigating the internet, according to a source familiar with the project.

Reuters has reviewed an internal document outlining a strategy for deploying Strawberry for research purposes. However, the timeline for when this technology will be publicly available remains unclear, with the initiative described as a "work in progress."

When approached for comment, an OpenAI spokesperson emphasized the company's commitment to developing AI that understands the world similarly to humans. While acknowledging that continuous research into new capabilities is standard in the industry, the spokesperson did not specifically address the Strawberry project.

As the AI landscape continues to evolve, OpenAI's ambitious plans could lead to significant advancements in how AI systems reason and interact with information, potentially transforming the future of artificial intelligence applications.
