Facts
- The Sam Altman-led company OpenAI reportedly plans to launch Strawberry, a reasoning-focused artificial intelligence model, in the next two weeks — earlier than previously anticipated.[1]
- A part of ChatGPT, Strawberry would reportedly stand apart with its ability to 'think' before responding to prompts, instead of churning out instant replies.[2]
- It is reportedly based on psychologist Daniel Kahneman's concept of “System 2” thinking (deliberate, analytical), as opposed to “System 1” which is defined as fast, intuitive, and emotional.[3]
- According to an OpenAI internal document accessed by Reuters in May, Strawberry would also be able to use the internet autonomously for 'deep research.'[4]
- OpenAI may reportedly charge users up to $2K to access its most advanced AI models, including Strawberry, although the potential subscription periods have not been detailed.[5]
- OpenAI is also reportedly readying its Orion language model, which will reportedly be designed to outperform GPT-4, and to handle multimodal inputs.[6]

Narratives
- Narrative A, as provided by YourStory. OpenAI’s Strawberry AI, unlike existing models, is rumored to possess groundbreaking capabilities, including autonomous web research, enhanced mathematical problem-solving, and superior logical reasoning. This would bring AI closer to human-like cognition. This hints at a significant leap in AI technology and a transformative development in the field.
- Technoskeptic narrative, as provided by Observer (NY). Elon Musk’s warnings about OpenAI’s trajectory are becoming a reality with the secretive Strawberry model. It is pushing AI toward advanced human-level reasoning and autonomous decision-making — this could pose a significant threat to humanity. Despite internal concerns and Musk's earlier legal actions, OpenAI is rapidly advancing towards AGI, without giving a thought to its potentially dangerous implications.
