OpenAI's Next AI Model, Orion, Faces Uncertainty Amid Release Rumors

CEO Sam Altman dismisses reports of a December launch for Orion, which is said to be significantly more powerful than GPT-4.

OpenAI's upcoming AI model, internally known as Orion, is speculated to be 100 times more powerful than GPT-4.
Reports suggest Orion will initially be available to select partners like Microsoft, rather than through a public release on ChatGPT.
Microsoft is reportedly preparing to host Orion on Azure by November, though this timeline is not confirmed.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has publicly labeled these reports as 'fake news,' adding to the confusion about the model's release.
The release of Orion comes as OpenAI transitions to a for-profit entity, following a $6.6 billion funding round.
