OpenAI's secret weapon - New AI reasoning technology under code name ‘Strawberry

The Reuters report, based on internal documentation and comments from an insider suggests this could be a significant upgrade in artificial intelligence capabilities.

According to the contact, Strawberry is even a "tightly kept secret" inside OpenAI but it seems that while it might be part of ChatGPT in the future its main purpose is to perform "deep research" beyond simple user queries.

Some of the capabilities include being able to plan enough when responding to navigate the internet autonomously and reliably without having to be told to do so by the user.

ChatGPT can already search the web for specific details but not reliably and often to get it to look for live data and not just look at its training data, you have to specifically tell it to do so.

OpenAI hasn't addressed the reports on Strawberry directly but told Reuters it is common practice to carry out continuous research into a range of new AI capabilities

Strawberry could be a new type of model that is a native reasoner from the ground up without requiring fine-tuning or additional training. Very little is actually known but OpenAI did suggest in a comment to Reuters that AI understanding like humans was an important requirement.
