You’re besides introducing Think Deeper, which volition fto Copilot tackle much hard problems. This is based connected OpenAI’s o1 model, aka Strawberry, right?

It's similar Strawberry, yeah. There's an OpenAI exemplary that we've tuned up for our much user purposes, and we've got it to enactment successful a mode that is much accordant with our AI companion theme.

What are the differences?

OpenAI’s is overmuch much focused connected axenic mathematics and technological problem-solving. And what we've tried to bash is person it absorption connected side-by-side comparisons and benignant of user analysis, worldly similar that.

Or erstwhile you get stuck connected a hard occupation oregon you privation to crushed done something, past it tin truly laic retired a side-by-side comparison, oregon bash an investigation astatine scale.

The 2nd signifier is [AI having] a agelong term, persistent representation that creates a shared knowing implicit time. And the 3rd signifier is AI interacting with 3rd parties by sending instructions and taking actions—to bargain things, publication things, program a schedule. And we've got these 2 features successful an experimental R&D mode that we're moving on.
