OpenAI is gearing up for something big and, according to some industry reports, will release its next generation GPT-5 AI model (codenamed Orion) in December. The model is expected to deliver ground-breaking new features, but will initially only be released to partner companies, not the consumer ChatGPT market.
The story, from The Verge, also suggests Microsoft is being given an inside track on this release, and could deliver a version for Azure sometime in November. If true, this would mark the first time that Microsoft has been given free rein to openly release such a major AI product before OpenAI itself.
