OpenAI Set to Unveil Revolutionary AI Model “Strawberry”
OpenAI is gearing up to introduce a cutting-edge artificial intelligence product with capabilities that extend far beyond the limitations of current models. The forthcoming model, known internally as “Strawberry,” promises to tackle complex problems and perform high-level tasks that were previously considered insurmountable for AI systems.
According to a report by The Information, the “Strawberry” model showcases a range of advanced features, including the ability to solve unfamiliar math problems, devise comprehensive marketing strategies, and tackle intricate word puzzles. Notably, it has successfully cracked the challenging "Connections" puzzle from The New York Times, demonstrating its potential for nuanced problem-solving.
In early assessments, Strawberry has reportedly achieved impressive scores, including over 90% on the MATH benchmark, which consists of championship-level math challenges. For context, OpenAI’s previous model, GPT-4, only scored 53%, while its enhanced version, GPT-4o, managed a score of 76.6%. If “Strawberry” lives up to expectations, it could position OpenAI significantly ahead of its rivals in the AI landscape.
The development of Strawberry is particularly intriguing due to its tumultuous history. Initially referred to as Q (pronounced Q-Star), this model gained notoriety during the chaotic period at OpenAI last year, which included the brief ousting of Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman. Reports from that time suggested that concerns regarding potential breakthroughs, notably with Q, played a significant role in Altman’s departure and subsequent return to the organization.
In November, it was revealed that a group of OpenAI researchers had expressed serious concerns to the board regarding the risks associated with advanced AI, specifically with Q*. They indicated that the model could signify a critical step towards achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), a sophisticated form of AI capable of human-like understanding and learning across diverse tasks.
The potential risks associated with AGI are profound, particularly in relation to the control over AI systems and the possibility of unforeseen consequences. There are fears that an AGI could develop goals misaligned with human values, posing significant threats—evoking scenarios reminiscent of Skynet from the "Terminator" films.
As anticipation builds, The Information has indicated that the launch of the Strawberry model is expected in the fall, marking a new chapter in the evolution of artificial intelligence.
