OpenAI’s secret project ‘Strawberry
Context:
US-basedOpenAI is reportedly building a new AI model, called strawberry model, which may dramatically improve AI reasoning capabilities and allow them to undertake ‘autonomous’ internet research — something existing models cannot do.
About Project Strawberry:
- OpenAI is now working on a new reasoning technology under the code name “Strawberry” believed to be the new name for Project Q*.
- Strawberry aims to enable AI models to plan ahead, autonomously search the internet, and conduct deep research.
Comparison with exciting AI model:
- As of now, Large Language Models (LLMs), which form the basis of AI chatbots,e.g. Chat Gpt can summarise dense texts and compose prose instantly. However, they struggle with common sense problems and multi-step logic tasks.
- Strawberry models, with their enhanced reasoning, would be seen as a catalyst for AI to make some landmark scientific discoveries and undertake complex problem-solving.
- Reasoning involves teaching AI to plan, understand the physical world, and solve complex problems step by step.
- Right now, large language models (LLMs) need extra tools to plan ahead effectively. With Strawberry, AI will be able to plan and carry out tasks that require multiple steps and take place over a longer period.
Potential Applications of Enhanced AI Models:
- Advanced Research:Conduct experiments,Analyse data,Suggest new hypotheses & Potential breakthroughs in various scientific fields.
- Medical Research:Assist in drug discovery,Support research in genetics and Analyse large data sets for personalised medicine.
- Problem-Solving:Solve complex mathematical problems,Aid in engineering calculations,Participate in theoretical research,Handle logical deductions and contribute to legal analysis.
- Education:Offer personalised tutoring,Create educational content and Develop interactive lessons.
- Business:Analyse market trends,Predict economic changes,Assess risks and Assist with investment decisions.
- Creative Fields:Aid in writing, art, and music creation and Generate videos and design video games.
Ethical Considerations :
- Impact on Jobs: Improved AI capabilities may intensify concerns about job displacement and the ethical implications of AI reproducing human work.
- Power Consumption and Ethics: The vast amounts of power required to run advanced AI models raise environmental and ethical questions.
