OpenAI is reportedly planning to release its next-generation AI model, codenamed Orion, by December. According to The Verge, the company will gradually roll out the model to trusted partners before a broader release through ChatGPT. However, an OpenAI spokesperson has denied this report, stating it is not accurate. The development of Orion comes after OpenAI raised $6.6 billion in funding at a valuation of $157 billion, with investors expecting increasingly capable AI models.
