According to a Thursday article by The Verge, OpenAI plans to unveil its next-generation AI model, codenamed Orion within the organization, before the end of this year. According to reports, the corporation intends to roll out the concept more widely through ChatGPT after releasing it gradually to trusted partners, in contrast to earlier releases.
A representative for OpenAI tells TechCrunch that the allegation is inaccurate, but they would not go into further detail.
The Verge writes that Microsoft engineers expect to receive access to Orion as early as November, although it’s unclear what OpenAI will ultimately call the model. The o1 series of models was codenamed “strawberry” inside OpenAI for months before it was released.
There’s a lot riding on OpenAI’s next frontier model release. The AI startup just raised $6.6 billion in funding at a $157 billion valuation, and investors are expecting OpenAI to continue releasing increasingly capable models to lead the tech world.
