OpenAI reportedly plans to launch its next frontier AI model, codenamed Orion within the company, by December this year. The Verge reported Thursday. Unlike previous releases, the company plans to roll out the model gradually to trusted partners before a broader rollout through ChatGPT.
An OpenAI spokesperson tells TechCrunch that the report is not accurate, but did not elaborate.
The Verge writes that Microsoft engineers hope to receive access to Orion as early as November, although it is unclear what OpenAI will ultimately call the model. The o1 model series was codenamed “strawberry” within OpenAI for months before its release.
There is a lot riding on the upcoming release of OpenAI's frontier model. The AI startup just raised $6.6 billion in funding at a valuation of $157 billion, and investors expect OpenAI to continue launching increasingly capable models to lead the tech world.
