OpenAI, the organization behind the widely-used ChatGPT platform, has announced plans to introduce its newest AI model, known as Orion, by the end of 2024.
According to a report from The Verge, the company aims to initially make the model available exclusively to select business partners, reports UNB.
Following the launch of OpenAI o1, Orion is expected to be a significant step forward in artificial intelligence, building upon the advancements of previous models.
Orion promises enhancements in reasoning, problem-solving, and language processing, addressing key challenges like AI hallucinations through advanced synthetic data techniques. While OpenAI’s new model is internally viewed as the successor to GPT-4, there has been no confirmation on whether it will be labelled as GPT-5 upon release.
In keeping with its phased rollout strategy, OpenAI will initially provide Orion to its close business partners rather than releasing it broadly via ChatGPT. This limited-access approach will enable these partners to develop specialised products and features using the cutting-edge platform before a broader public release.
Microsoft Collaboration on Azure
Microsoft, OpenAI’s primary partner in AI model deployment, is expected to host Orion on its Azure platform as early as November. Microsoft engineers have reportedly been preparing for the rollout, which is anticipated to cater to industries where accuracy and reliability are paramount, such as healthcare and finance.
This strategic collaboration allows OpenAI to strengthen its presence in the rapidly advancing AI sector, competing with other tech giants like Google DeepMind and Meta.
OpenAI has been developing Orion for several months, utilizing synthetic data generated by the recently launched OpenAI o1—an advanced model designed to approach human-like AI capabilities.
OpenAI o1 has demonstrated substantial improvements in handling complex, multistep challenges and generating code. Notably, the model is said to perform at a level similar to PhD students in benchmark tasks within the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology.
As OpenAI continues to evolve its AI offerings, the introduction of Orion aims to further push boundaries in artificial intelligence applications across various industries. Although the launch date remains tentative, with the potential for adjustments, Orion’s release is set to mark a major milestone in AI development, reflecting OpenAI’s ambitions to lead the AI landscape amid growing competition.
