The Discovery We Needed?

In a world exclusive, Reuters has leaked OpenAI’s latest breakthrough: a new model codenamed Strawberry that might hold the key to AI’s true moat: reasoning.

They talk about a ‘new leap in reasoning’ that allows a new model type to be extremely performant at tasks like maths, reaching 90% on benchmarks where current LLMs give you a similar result to using pure chance.

Importantly, understanding Project Strawberry gives insight into how the real moat in AI, reasoning, might be achieved; a dire need for OpenAI considering that current LLMs, which are heavily commoditized, no longer offer that promise.

And what’s at stake? Not only OpenAI’s future, but the direction the entire industry takes moving forward.

You are probably sick of AI newsletters talking about how this or that **just** happened.

These newsletters abound because coarsely talking about events and things that already took place is easy, but the value provided is limited, and the hype exaggerated. However, newsletters talking about what will happen are a rare sight.

Well, here’s one. 🏝️🏝️ Subscribe today below:
