OpenAI is preparing to release its new AI model, codenamed Strawberry, within the next two weeks. This model is designed with advanced reasoning capabilities, allowing it to tackle complex tasks such as solving intricate math problems and coding challenges. A unique feature of Strawberry is its “thinking” process, where it takes 10 to 20 seconds to deliberate before responding. This approach enhances its ability to handle more difficult queries compared to current models like GPT-4.
While testers have noted improvements in problem-solving, some have expressed concerns about the increased response time, even for simple questions. The model is expected to be integrated into ChatGPT but might also be available as a standalone service. It could potentially introduce new pricing tiers for users seeking faster performance.
