Recently, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, vehemently refuted a media report about the imminent release of a new AI model called "Orion," labeling it as "pure fantasy."
On the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Altman expressed his dissatisfaction with the media's willingness to publish such "random fantasies."
This incident originated from a report by The Verge, which cited anonymous sources claiming that OpenAI plans to release a new AI model named Orion in December, with Microsoft engineers already preparing for integration work in November. As the largest investor in OpenAI, Microsoft has also recently announced plans to launch an agent-based AI in November, which undoubtedly fueled speculation about the new model's release.
Altman usually does not respond so strongly to media reports, but in this case, he mentioned that although Orion will not be released this year, the company still has "many great technologies" on the horizon. His comments have left people eagerly anticipating future OpenAI technologies.
Meanwhile, Altman posted on social media, mentioning his excitement about the "rising winter constellations," which was interpreted as possibly related to the "Orion" constellation. Altman also hinted that ChatGPT might receive an update in November to celebrate its second birthday.
Previously, executives from OpenAI and Microsoft had stated that more powerful AI models would be released this year. Altman specifically mentioned that GPT-5 could achieve "significant breakthroughs," while Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati indicated that it is expected to possess capabilities at the doctoral level within 18 months.
Although rumors about the Orion model have persisted for some time, Altman's denial seems to have dispelled this news. However, the public still looks forward to OpenAI releasing new technologies on schedule and seeing further developments in the field of artificial intelligence.
