Reuters reported that the company is working on innovative mechanisms such as the ability to engage in long-horizon tasks (LHT), allowing Strawberry to independently develop mental models of the world and execute its own plans.

According to Bloomberg, internal memos from OpenAI reveal that the company is on the verge of a major breakthrough: creating AI systems with PhD-level reasoning. The next step involves developing agents capable of independent task planning and execution over extended periods—an essential milestone on the path to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Project Strawberry is likely to play a pivotal role in bringing AI closer to human-like cognition.
