Recently, the progress of OpenAI’s “Strawberry” project and Perplexity AI have attracted widespread attention in the AI field. The specific information of OpenAI’s “Strawberry” project has not been made public, but it is predicted to bring second-level artificial general intelligence (AGI), triggering a lot of speculation and expectations. At the same time, the CEO of Perplexity AI showed a picture of his own AI successfully cracking the "Strawberry Test", implying that its AI capabilities have reached a considerable level. How this will affect the competitive landscape of AI search engines is worthy of our in-depth discussion.
Recently, a project called "Strawberry" has once again pushed OpenAI to the forefront of public opinion. At the same time, a series of hints from Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas made this AI feast even more confusing.
OpenAI’s “Strawberry” project has sparked countless speculations and discussions in the past week. Although the specific release date is still a mystery, frequent posts and various hints from the tipster @iruletheworldmo have made people full of expectations for this project. He even predicted that this Tuesday will be an important moment for OpenAI to achieve the second level of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
While people are eagerly awaiting OpenAI’s “Strawberry” project, Perplexity AI seems to have taken the lead. Aravind Srinivas posted a picture of his own AI cracking the "Strawberry Test" on social media, triggering widespread speculation and testing among netizens. Does this mean that Perplexity AI already has capabilities comparable to the “Strawberry” project?
The power of Perplexity AI lies in its ability to think step by step and incrementally. Whether interrogating the phenomenon of quantum entanglement in the brain or counting the number of strawberries covering the surface of Mars, Perplexity AI can provide compelling answers. This ability not only makes the output results more powerful, but also makes Perplexity AI's user popularity continue to rise.
As the popularity of AI search surges, Perplexity AI is shifting its business model from subscriptions to advertising to compete more intensely with search engines such as Google. The startup has completed a new round of financing of US$250 million, with investors including Yann LeCun, Andrej Karpathy, Bezos and other well-known industry tycoons. Perplexity AI's monthly revenue and usage have grown sevenfold in the past month, with annualized revenue exceeding $35 million.
Although Perplexity AI has not yet revealed the details of the new model behind it, the powerful output results it has demonstrated through its step-by-step thinking ability have already made people full of expectations for it. On the AI search track, Perplexity AI and OpenAI’s “Strawberry” project will undoubtedly become the focus of attention in the future. With the continuous advancement of AI technology, we have reason to believe that a more intelligent and efficient search era is coming.
The competition between OpenAI’s “Strawberry” project and Perplexity AI indicates that the field of AI search engines is about to usher in new changes. This competition is not only about technological innovation, but also about the ecological pattern of future search engines. Let us wait and see the final result of this AI feast.
