First details on OpenAI’s “Orion” AI model

OpenAI plans to release its next major AI model, called Orion, by December, The Verge has learned. Unlike previous releases, Orion will first be made available to companies to build their own products and features. The model is said to be more powerful than GPT-4, and is seen as a step toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). The release comes at a pivotal time for OpenAI, which has just closed a historic $6.6 billion funding round and is facing significant personnel changes.
