Sam Altman Denies Reports of OpenAI Launching GPT-5 ‘Orion’ by December
Oct. 25, 2024It has been over a year and a half sinceOpenAI released GPT-4, yet the company has not released a big frontier model. Sure,GPT-4oandOpenAI o1models were launched with new upgrades, but users have been asking for GPT-5 with advanced capabilities. Now, a report byThe Vergereveals that OpenAI may release GPT-5, codenamed ‘Orion’ by December this year.
The report further says that Microsoft is preparing to host the Orion model on Azure by November. OpenAI will be releasing the model to close partners first to deliver new features and products, likely via the API. That said, reacting to the report, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman responded on X, “fake news out of control.“
In September, Sam Altman shared a cryptic post on X, “excited for the winter constellations to rise soon; they are so great.” If you ask ChatGPT what this tweet alludes to, it reveals ‘Orion’ which appears during the winter months of December and January. Altman is likely referring to the upcoming Orion aka GPT-5 model.
Whatever the case, it seems OpenAI is gearing up to launch its next big model soon. Anthropic recently upgraded theClaude 3.5 Sonnet modelwhich gets even better at coding and other tasks. Amid manyresearchers and executives leaving OpenAI, the company is in a tight spot to keep up with the momentum.
