So The Verge is reporting that OpenAI's new flagship model "Orion" aka maybe GPT-5 will arrive next month. Sam Altman says "fake news!" What is happening??
If you're wondering how and why OAI just raised 6.5 billion dollars in the largest venture raise of all time, look no further than this. They have their next model nearly ready to go (whether or not the timing is right) and I guarantee you part of that big "give us money" tour was showing off what it was capable of.
When you combine this with the reasoning abilities of their o1 model and the agentic behaviors of what we've seen from Anthropic's Claude Computer Use (which OAI has coming as well), you can start to see how crazy the future is gonna get.
