Is Orion by OpenAI GPT-5 or just a new AI model? Explained
OpenAI is preparing to introduce its latest flagship Artificial Intelligence model named Orion. According to a report by The Verge, Orion is said to possess 100 times the capabilities of its predecessor, GPT-4. Along with the launch of Orion, there are anticipated changes in the model's distribution strategy. One notable change is that OpenAI does not plan to debut the Orion model through ChatGPT. Instead, the AI model will initially be released to companies collaborating with OpenAI.
Features of Orion
As reported, the Orion AI model will be accessible for companies to utilize and innovate new features and products based on it. It is highly likely that Orion will be hosted on Microsoft Azure. While OpenAI is positioning Orion as the successor to GPT-4, it has yet to be confirmed whether the model will be named GPT-5. Historically, OpenAI has designated models with codenames before their official release, such as the o1 model which was codenamed Strawberry.
Release Date Speculations
Despite no official confirmation on the release date of the upcoming AI model by OpenAI, speculations suggest a potential debut in the market by November 2024. This timing aligns well with OpenAI's recent $6.6 billion funding acquisition as they aim to transition into a profitable entity. More details about the Orion AI model are anticipated to emerge as the launch date approaches.
