OpenAI is on the cusp of releasing two groundbreaking models that could redefine the landscape of machine learning. Codenamed Strawberry and Orion, these projects aim to push AI capabilities beyond current limits—particularly in reasoning, problem-solving, and language processing, taking us one step closer to artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Strawberry, previously known as Q* or Q-Star, seems to be more than just a chatbot; it focuses on showing a significant leap in AI reasoning abilities. Sources familiar with the project have told different media outlets like Reuters or The Information that it has demonstrated remarkable proficiency in solving complex mathematical problems and enhancing logical analysis.
Orion, meanwhile, is positioned as OpenAI's next flagship language model, potentially succeeding GPT-4. It's designed to outperform its predecessor in language understanding and generation, with the added ability to handle multimodal inputs, including text, images, and videos.
Both projects have garnered attention from U.S. national security officials, underscoring their potential strategic importance. This development comes as OpenAI continues to raise capital despite substantial revenue growth, likely due to the high costs associated with developing and training these advanced models.
