According to sources cited by The Washington Post, OpenAI rushed through safety tests before ensuring the safety of its products.

Strawberry extends on OpenAI’s Q* project announced last November, which some described as a technical breakthrough allowing for the development of “far more powerful” AI models.

According to Reuters, informed sources said that ChatGPT developer OpenAI is developing a new artificial intelligence model in a project codenamed "Strawberry". The plan is currently underway and it is unclear how far "Strawberry" is from going public.Sources said that even within OpenAI, the working principle of "Strawberry" is a strictly guarded secret.It is reported that an internal document of OpenAI describes a project using the Strawberry model, which aims to enable the company's artificial intelligence to not only generate answers to queries, but also to make sufficient plans in advance, navigate autonomously and reliably on the Internet, and perform "deep research" as OpenAI claims.

On July 4, the New York Times reported that OpenAI experienced a security breach in 2023, but did not disclose the incident to external parties. It is reported that OpenAI executives disclosed the incident internally at a meeting in April 2023, but did not publicly disclose it because the attackers did not access information related to customers or partners. In addition, executives did not believe that the incident posed a national security threat because they believed the attackers were individuals not affiliated with foreign governments. They did not report the incident to the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other law enforcement agencies.

The reported discussions come as the company adds a former NSA director to its board.

According to Cointelegraph, OpenAI has appointed former NSA/CSS executive Paul Nakasone as a board member.

According to sources cited by the Information , CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, recently told some shareholders that the company is considering changing its governance structure to become a profitable company similar to competitors Anthropic and xAI, and will no longer be controlled by non-profit directors of OpenAI. This change may open the door for OpenAI to eventually go public, with its current valuation reaching $86 billion. Additionally, this will also result in Altman holding company shares, with some investors currently pushing for this move.

OpenAI is pulling out all the stops to ensure that everyone is using its ChatGPT services.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently stated that any cost is reasonable to become the first company to develop general artificial intelligence (AGI). Altman said this week in a conversation with Stanford students, "I don't care if we burn $500 million, $5 billion, or $50 billion a year. I really don't care. As long as we can find a way to pay the bills, we will do AGI." Altman also said that in the process of spending a lot of money developing AGI, he is more concerned about how quickly society can adapt to the progress made by his company.

OpenAI is currently investigating the issue of increased error rates on ChatGPT.
