Advanced reasoning capabilities in AI are emerging, driven by deep research methods that surpass simple pattern matching. Upcoming technology, potentially linked to the so-called strawberry project or Q-star, promises to enhance AI's ability to tackle complex problems akin to human reasoning. The self-taught reasoner concept allows AI models to iteratively create and refine their own training data, with oversight from reviewer models, effectively boosting their intelligence. This approach stems from collaborative efforts at OpenAI to merge teams focused on mathematical and coding applications, leading to innovations such as the 'Let's Verify this Step by Step' project aimed at verifying intermediate processes in AI reasoning.
