OpenAI’s “Strawberry” AI: Hyped as Genius, Struggles with Tic-Tac-Toe
OpenAI’s new AI model, “Strawberry,” promised PhD-level performance but is still tripping over basic tasks like counting and chess. Maybe it should focus less on berries and more on not embarrassing itself.

Hot Take:
OpenAI’s “Strawberry” AI model is like a toddler trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube—it’s cute, ambitious, and wildly inaccurate. And just like a toddler, it might need a few more years before it can master counting sheep, let alone curing cancer.
Key Points:
- OpenAI released its AI model “Strawberry” aka “o1-preview” with big promises.
- Early testers found the model struggles with basic tasks like chess moves and counting.
- The new AI model uses a “chain of thought” process, extending response times but not always improving answers.
- Critics argue that longer processing times will not necessarily lead to groundbreaking results.
- OpenAI aims to raise $6.5 billion for further development despite ongoing skepticism.
