OpenAI Aurora Alpha
watchingNot out yet. OpenAI hasn't released OpenAI Aurora Alpha, and no release date is confirmed. What we know so far: unannounced; Oct 18: @scaling01 reported three new ids in OpenAI's API, aurora-red-alpha, aurora-green-alpha and aurora-blue-alpha; one account's report, unconfirmed, and OpenAI has said nothing; not on OpenRouter or models.dev when we checked; the same account guesses specialised Codex models or fast versions of GPT-6 models. Swept every 60 seconds across provider catalogs. The moment it answers on a public API, alerts fire: a free Chrome push the second it's confirmed, a free email about 15 minutes later, texts or a call on paid plans.
