OpenAI Strawberry, a rumored new artificial intelligence (AI) model with advanced reasoning and mathematical problem-solving capabilities, will reportedly be released by the end of September. According to a report, the new AI model will be launched within ChatGPT and will also be included in a separate offering. Earlier this year, the AI firm was rumored to be working on this new generative AI technology that can think and solve complex tasks that require multi-step problem solving. Notably, the Strawberry is said to be not the next generation of the GPT but a separate model with additional features.

The Information reports that the alleged AI model is currently in the final stages of internal testing, which usually suggests a beta or public release. Citing unnamed people who tested the model, the publication claimed that the Strawberry model could arrive in the next two weeks.
However, it also notes that plans are subject to change as release timelines are usually subject to change. Notably, Strawberry is the internal codename of the AI model, and it may be offered with a different branding at launch.
Additionally, Strawberry AI is said to have “the ability to think.” The AI model reportedly does not start generating feedback immediately after adding the signal, and takes 10 to 20 seconds to provide output.
The AI model is said to be available within the company’s native chatbot ChatGPT. However, it will reportedly be available as a separate offering, presumably to customers who use the application programming interface (API) version of the tool. Details of how these two iterations will be integrated and whether there will be any differences are not known.
The report claims that the AI model will be text-based only at launch, with no support for images or videos.
Last month, a report revealed that OpenAI’s Strawberry AI could be released in the fall, but no specific timeline was specified. The report also notes that the AI model will not be introduced as GPT-5, as the next version of the larger language model is under development.
