Strawberry Season Begins 🍓

Recently, OpenAI chief Sam Altman hinted in a cryptic post stating that it is working on a project known internally as Project Strawberry, aka Q*. “I love summer in the garden,” said Altman, alongside posting an image of a terracotta pot, containing a strawberry plant with lush green leaves and small, ripening strawberries. 

So, what is Q*? 

OpenAI’s Q* algorithm is a significant advancement in AI, merging Q-learning and A* search to enhance human-like reasoning and problem-solving abilities. This combination leads to better goal-oriented thinking and efficient solutions, particularly in complex mathematical problems, even without prior training.
