According to The Verge, engineers at Microsoft Azure, OpenAI's cloud service provider, are getting ready to launch Orion on the Azure platform, potentially starting in November.

Earlier this year, a source informed The Verge that in September, OpenAI researchers organized a happy hour event to celebrate the new model's completion of the training phase. Around the same time, Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, posted an X message about winter constellation in the U.S. Midwest. Curiously, The Verge tried to ask the o1 AI model to decipher what Sam Altman's post means, and it came up with the answer that it hides the word 'Orion.' Yet, when yours truly asked to do the same, it responded that the message hides the phrase 'It Begins.' Nonetheless, all AI models responded that the post could hint at a big announcement.
