OpenAI Prepares to Launch Orion AI Model by Year-End

OpenAI is planning to release its next major AI model, internally referred to as Orion, by December 2024. Unlike past launches, the rollout will begin with trusted partners, who will receive early access to the model before a wider release through ChatGPT. Microsoft engineers could gain access as early as November, though the final name for the model remains undecided. OpenAI followed a similar approach with the o1 series, previously codenamed “strawberry.”

This release comes at a crucial time for OpenAI, following its recent $6.6 billion fundraising, which raised the company’s valuation to $157 billion. Investors are closely watching the Orion launch, expecting OpenAI to continue delivering state-of-the-art AI models that push the boundaries of technology.

The gradual release strategy suggests OpenAI is focusing on refining the model with early feedback from select partners. As the company prepares for a wider rollout, all eyes are on Orion to see how it will advance OpenAI's leadership in the AI sector.
