The Next Big AI Model called Orion that is developed by OpenAI is Speculated to be Launched in December 2024

Rumors that OpenAI will reveal "Orion," as early as December take place here and there in the community of developers and journalists. Experts say Orion will be a big improvement over GPT-4 and could be another turning point in the development of AI. However, Orion will not be immediately available to the public, in contrast to previous launches of the company. OpenAI intends to launch in stages, providing early access to some business partners.
 

How are they going to launch Orion?

This time, OpenAI appears to be prioritizing stability and targeted application development. Their associated partners will receive early access to Orion, allowing them to build unique applications and further improve the AI’s capabilities before launching it publicly. 

Microsoft engineers are already preparing to host Orion on Azure in November. Microsoft users will be lucky enough to be among the first to experience Orion's new capabilities.
 

Hints from OpenAI’s CEO

In September, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman posted a mysterious message on X (formerly Twitter): “Excited for the winter constellations to rise soon; they are so great.” To some, this seemed like a poetic post, but to the keen-eyed, it was a hint. 

Orion is a well-known winter constellation, which is visible from November in the northern part of the earth. The post referred to the new model’s name, inducing excitement among AI enthusiasts.
 

Orion’s Capability

They say it’s going to be far more capable than GPT-4. Orion may have “100x more computation volume” than its predecessor, according to an OpenAI executive. 

This advancement in computational power could be a significant achievement in reasoning and problem-solving abilities. OpenAI has reportedly achieved these capabilities using synthetic data generated by its Strawberry model, which allowed faster and more efficient training for Orion. 

With this advancement, OpenAI may get closer to the aspirational artificial general intelligence (also called AGI), which would allow robots to show the level of intelligence comparable to that of humans.
 

Perfect Timing for OpenAI

Do you know how much they spent on a new model? OpenAI had a massive amount of $6.6 billion funding round for Orion, which had forced OpenAI to restructure as a for-profit company. 

The transition has come with some changes as well. With Orion’s launch, OpenAI may fix its future direction and confirm its position in the AI race, where competition with tech giants like Google and Meta is heating up.
 

Final Countdown to December

For now, the details surrounding Orion still remain hypothetical. With growing excitement and curiosity, every technology lover is counting on OpenAI. 

 

Will Orion live up to the hype and change the AI scene? We’ll see it soon. Stay tuned.
