OpenAI’s Sam Altman Drops Hints About ‘Strawberry’ Model

Overview: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently shared a casual photo of strawberries on X, which has set off a buzz in the AI world. 

The Details

• Altman’s garden photo might seem innocent, but it’s got AI fans buzzing because it could hint at “Strawberry,” a highly anticipated AI model that’s generating a lot of excitement.

This Artificial Intelligence Stock is Ready for a Bull Run

SentinelOne, a cybersecurity company, uses AI to replace human analysts on its Singularity XDR platform. Despite doubling its revenue in 2022 and 2023, growth slowed to 47% in 2024 and is expected to be 29% - 31% in 2025 due to economic challenges.

However, the stock is now considered a bargain at under 9 times this year's sales. Analysts predict 27% annual revenue growth from 2024 to 2027 and reduced losses as the company scales.

Stock price: 20.56 USD as of writing
