  • OpenAI is working on a new AI project to achieve human-like reasoning capabilities.
  • Dubbed Strawberry, the project aims to help AI achieve reasoning capabilites on par with humans.

As OpenAI’s next-generation GPT-5 language model inches closer to release, we’re finally getting our first glimpses at the potential AI breakthroughs in store. According to a new Reuters report, the Microsoft-backed startup is working on a new technique to improve AI reasoning capabilities under the code name “Strawberry.” This news comes from a source familiar with the project and internal documents reviewed by the publication.

We’ve known that OpenAI has been racing to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) since late last year when news of a secretive Q* model leaked. Around the same time, multiple OpenAI employees wrote a letter to the board warning of a new AI breakthrough that “could threaten humanity.” It’s believed that Q* has since been renamed to Strawberry.
