OpenAI presents a new model of artificial intelligence, which was internally known as Strawberry.
The new product of the mentioned company, which has developed the world’s most popular chatbot based on machine intelligence ChatGPT, can perform some reasoning tasks similar to cognitive processes occurring in human consciousness. It is worth noting that OpenAI currently demonstrates a clear desire to continue to be the leader of the artificial intelligence market, where there is increased competition. In this case, the growth of competition is a natural process, since machine intelligence is actually the main technology of modernity, which is why interest in digital thinking systems is significant.
The new artificial intelligence model from OpenAI has been officially named o1. This virtual product spends more time on computing before responding to user requests. The relevant information is contained in a message that was published on the OpenAI blog.
As part of the functioning of the new artificial intelligence model, existing tools included in the company’s product line will be able to solve multi-step tasks, including programming issues and mathematical questions.
OpenAI stated that o1, being an early model, does not yet have many of the features that make ChatGPT useful. In this case, it means, for example, searching for information on the Internet and uploading files and images. The relevant information is contained in a message posted on the company’s blog.
Describing its new product, OpenAI also notes that for complex reasoning tasks, this is a significant move forward and a new level of capabilities for artificial intelligence. Taking into account the relevant features of the presented machine intelligence model, the company stated that it is resetting the counter back to 1 and naming this series OpenAI o1.
It is known that a preview version of the new artificial intelligence model is available through ChatGPT. It is worth noting that in this case, it meant access, the provision of which began on Thursday, September 12, for paid Plus and Team users.
In this case, the presentation of a new model of artificial intelligence is not what can be called an event that has significance and value exclusively within the technology sector and does not have any other content. This product also makes sense as a kind of market boost and a factor in enhancing the competitiveness of OpenAI, based in San Francisco. The company is currently seeking to raise billions in funding. As part of the movement towards the corresponding goal, the developer of the world’s most popular chatbot based on artificial intelligence is facing a high level of competition from other companies. In this context, it is noteworthy that it was the debut of ChatGPT, which impressed consumers with its cognitive abilities, that became a kind of initial factor in the so-called AI boom, which is currently a global process and demonstrates the potential for even greater scaling. The artificial intelligence industry contains what can be called the prospects for a fundamental transformation of the world as an economic and technological space, political environment, and matter of culture. Competition in the AI area is growing, which is why players in the relevant market need to make special efforts to lead. With a high degree of probability, the corresponding tendency will continue. The horizons of the technological evolution of artificial intelligence are more than wide. For example, there is a possibility that AI will become a new form of mind that exists in a digital environment and is capable of independent development. It is also believed that over time, artificial intelligence will surpass human consciousness in terms of cognitive abilities. The proponents of this point of view are Elon Musk and Masayoshi Son.
OpenAI’s competitors such as Google and Anthropic have also claimed that their flagship artificial intelligence models have reasoning skills.
The developer of ChatGPT in its blog published examples of responses from new brainchild o1 to questions on topics such as coding, English, and mathematics. Also in this case, the user asked an artificial intelligence model to solve a simple crossword puzzle.
In a series of posts on the social media platform X, Noam Brown, a research scientist at OpenAI, stated that the company is releasing a new product in preview, partly to understand how people use it and what improvements are needed as part of the corresponding process.
The experience of consumers interacting with o1 will likely have certain differences compared to the specifics of communicating with ChatGPT. The new software pauses for a few seconds before generating a response to a user request. At this time, the artificial intelligence model, unnoticed by the interlocutor, considers several prompts of a similar thematic category and then summarizes what the AI identifies as the best answer. Sometimes such an algorithm is characterized as a chain of thought prompting.
OpenAI has been working for some time to get computers to start performing multi-step actions. For example, last May, in its blog, the company published a message and an accompanying research paper about efforts to improve the capabilities of artificial intelligence systems in solving mathematical problems. The mentioned paper contained information that OpenAI trained the model, rewarding it for each correct move as part of the process of finding a solution to the problem, and not just for generating an accurate answer.
