Sam Altman led OpenAI is working on a new reasoning technology for its large language models (LLMs) under the code-name strawberry, Reuters reported on Friday citing the company’s internal documents and people familiar with the matter. The ChatGPT maker is reportedly hoping that Strawberry will improve the reasoning capabilities of its AI models dramatically.
The report states that Strawberry is a tightly kept secret even within the organization. It was earlier known by the name Q* and was already seen as a breakthrough inside the company.

However, OpenAI did show some staffers Q* demos which showed the LLMs capable of answering tricky science and math questions which are currently out of reach for the commercially available models today.
The document describes a project that uses Strawberry models with the aim of enabling the company’s AI to not just generate answers to queries but to plan ahead enough to navigate the internet autonomously and reliably to perform what OpenAI terms “deep research,” according to the source.
What is Strawberry?
Strawberry will reportedly mark a specialized way of processing an AI models after it has been pre-trained on very large datasets. It includes a specialized way of ‘post-training’ OpenAI’s generative AI models or adapting them in order to improve their performance in specific ways even after they have been ‘trained’ on generalized data.
OpenAI reportedly wants to use Strawberry for performing long-horizon tasks (LHT), which require an AI model to plan ahead and perform a series of actions over an extended period of time.
Specifically, OpenAI wants its models to use these capabilites for conducting research by browsing the web autonomusly with the support for ‘computer using agent’ or CUA which will be able to take action based on its findings.
