OpenAI is reportedly set to release "Strawberry," a new AI model designed to enhance reasoning capabilities and problem-solving skills, within the next two weeks. According to reports from The Information, Strawberry is expected to take 10-20 seconds to process queries, employing a deliberate "System 2" thinking approach to potentially reduce errors and improve accuracy in complex tasks.
From what we've been told, Strawberry is going to be a product that is much more approachable and user-friendly than GPT-4, yet endowed with numerous advanced features that will make creating content more exciting than ever1. While Strawberry is expected to make content creators' lives easier, the word on the street is that it's going to be much more complex and intuitive than any product OpenAI has released1. Rumor has it that the following mechanics will set it apart:
Ask anyone who has taken a deep dive into today's AI models, and they'll probably tell you that they've been frustrated by GPT-4 and other similar products' ability to keep track of the context of a long conversation.12 A perfect example is when you pour your heart out in a GPT chat, only to be heartbroken when it forgets what you were talking about. Beyond making you feel a bit slighted, it can throw your work process off and leave you having to re-educate the GPT on your product, services, and more.3 Strawberry is expected to face this challenge head-on, as it may retain both the information and context of your conversations.4 This will not only come in handy for individual users but also for those who use it to power chatbots for their companies and beyond. It's also expected that Strawberry will make AI responses far more natural than they currently feel.
If you've been dabbling with GPT-4's ability to create images from text and found yourself wishing that you could also create audio and video, Strawberry may make your dreams come true. While we can't be 100% sure about this, many experts believe that Strawberry will be able to handle text, audio, and video in a single conversation.1 This would undoubtedly make collaborating on one or more projects and making them available across multiple channels easier than ever.
We touched on this a bit above, but it's worth discussing this aspect of Strawberry a bit more. Currently, GPT-4 and other models aren't amazing at catching emotional cues. They know how to spew out facts and long lists of things everyone should do, but the buck stops there. For example, say you are having a bad day and tell GPT-4 that you need some mental support after a tragedy happened in your family. It may give you a, "So sorry, that must feel awful" and then tell you seven ways you can get over the tragedy you're facing. But, we're expecting Strawberry to be far more aware of what it means for a human to be sad, frustrated, happy, and more. This could make a massive difference on numerous levels, especially where customer service and mental health applications are concerned.
Another area that's expected to get exciting with Strawberry is in the realm of personalization. Imagine if your preferences and habits were observed, and it offers suggestions, tools, and ideas that fit with your ethos. This could also offer massive breakthroughs for productivity tools, content creation, and more.1
There's still lots of speculation about how Strawberry is going to work, so we can't be 100% sure, but experts are guessing the following:
#1 - Super Easy Integration for Developers
It's expected that Strawberry will offer a seamless API, which will make developers extremely happy where their apps and platforms are concerned. Soon, chatbots, content creation tools, and other innovations will be easier than ever to create and maintain.
#2 - Real-Time Learning
Strawberry is rumored to be able to adapt and learn in real-time. Finally, it may be possible to keep up with the latest news, current trends, and a user's personal preferences. Industries news, finance, and research would likely go bonkers with these tools at their fingertips while enabling their customers to be constantly enlightened.
#3 - Faster and More Efficient
With every new generation of nearly any technology, speed and efficiency tend to get a boost. Strawberry is expected to decrease lag times and help users substantially boost their productivity to new heights.
OpenAI's Strawberry isn't expected to be like any other AI update that's dropped before. We're expecting it to be a leap into the future—revealing what AI can do to free us all up to focus on what matters most in our worlds.12 Whether you're an artist, entertainment executive, finance professional, or content creator, rumor has it that there will be Strawberry features that will delight us all.34 Stay tuned, Strawberry is expected to drop near the end of September.56
