Bengaluru - OpenAI plans to release “Strawberry”, its reasoning-focused artificial intelligence (AI), as part of its ChatGPT service in the next two weeks, The Information reported on Sept 10, citing two people who have tested out the model.
OpenAI, led by Mr Sam Altman, has propelled new interest and triggered heavy investments in AI, as businesses race to capitalise on the lucrative technology to boost their products.
The Microsoft-backed AI company said last week it has more than one million paying users across its business products, helped by strong adoption of its chatbot owing to its advanced large language model.
Strawberry is different from other conversational AI because of its ability to “think” before responding, rather than immediately answering a query, according to the report by The Information.
Reuters had reported in July that ChatGPT-maker OpenAI was working on a novel approach to its AI models in a project codenamed Strawberry.
According to the report by The Information, while Strawberry is a part of ChatGPT, it is also a standalone offering. It is unclear exactly how it will be offered.
The initial version of Strawberry will only be able to take in and produce text, and not images, which means it is not yet multimodal, the report said.
