OpenAI is preparing to release a new AI model codenamed "Strawberry", which may appear earlier than expected. This was reported by Android Authority.
The release, initially planned for fall, may now happen within the next two weeks.
The key feature of "Strawberry" is that the model takes a pause of 10-20 seconds to think through the request. This innovation is aimed at improving the accuracy of responses and enhancing the handling of tasks that require complex or multi-step analysis.
Despite clear advantages, early testers have noted some drawbacks.
The model, which currently only supports text format, can excessively delay responses to simple questions, which is not always justified. Another stated improvement is the ability to remember previous conversations for personalized responses, but this function has yet to work consistently.
"Strawberry" will be integrated into ChatGPT but as a separate option. The model will also be offered with a new pricing system with limits on the number of messages per hour, and paid ChatGPT Plus users will have early access.
It is worth noting that OpenAI plans a significant price increase for the ChatGPT premium subscription. According to media reports, the price could rise from $20 to $2000, though it’s not yet clear whether this will be a monthly or yearly payment.
One reason for the price hike is the need for the company’s financial stability, as it spends about $700,000 per day to maintain ChatGPT's operations.
In addition, OpenAI is developing new AI models, such as "Strawberry", mentioned above, which will form the basis of the "Orion" system, scheduled for release this fall.
It was previously reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is conducting an investigation to determine whether OpenAI may have misled investors during the crisis when Sam Altman was temporarily removed from his position.
