🍓 Sam Altman Hints 'Strawberry' Model

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, posted a picture of strawberries on his personal X account, sparking rumors in the AI community. Many think this hints at OpenAI’s secret project, rumored to be called “Strawberry,” possibly related to the next big AI model, GPT-5.

The Details:

• The post, featuring strawberries and captioned “i love summer in the garden” in lowercase, is seen by many as a potential reference to Project Strawberry.

• Key AI influencers and experts, such as @kimmonismus on X and Bindu Reddy of Abacus AI, interpret this as a confirmation of the project.

• The timing coincides with the release of an “anonymous-chatbot” on the lmsys platform, described as part of the GPT-4 family but with advanced capabilities, hinting at what Project Strawberry might involve.

• As OpenAI has not released a major new model since GPT-4 about 1.5 years ago, and with the competition heating up with companies like Anthropic and Google, the AI community is ripe for a new breakthrough.

If Project Strawberry moves forward as expected, it could greatly enhance OpenAI’s AI abilities, especially in navigating the internet on its own and doing deep research. This project might be a big step toward reaching artificial general intelligence (AGI), showing the strong competition and fast progress in the AI field.
