OpenAI is airing its “12 Days of OpenAI” series live on its official YouTube channel. For those who like things more in real-time, OpenAI is also holding a live blog to capture all the major announcements as they come in. Miss a session? No worries: past streams are there for catching up on highlights.
What’s Next: OpenAI Holiday Announcements
Next session-This is when things get seriously groundbreaking. According to the Verge, one thing that’s going to take its toll is the text-to-video OpenAI tool called Sora AI. The tool in question has been under works for most of the year and will probably revolution the method of generating videos using artificial intelligence.
Another expected update is a Christmas-themed upgrade for ChatGPT Voice, which will include a Santa-inspired voice option and a festive snowflake design for the voice mode button.
Text-To-Video Generator: Sora
OpenAI’s Chief Technology Officer at the time, Mira Murati, hinted at the public release of Sora earlier this year during an interview with The Wall Street Journal. Initially previewed in February, Sora underwent a rigorous testing phase known as “Red Teaming.” This process involved stress-testing the tool to uncover potential biases, vulnerabilities, and harmful outputs, ensuring its readiness for widespread use.
Sora’s introduction is part of OpenAI’s broader push to expand generative AI capabilities beyond text and into multimedia formats.
Orion: The Next-Generation GPT Model
Another major development could be the unveiling of Orion, the highly anticipated successor to OpenAI’s GPT-4 model. According to reports, Orion is being trained using synthetic data powered by OpenAI’s o1-series reasoning models, positioning it as the company’s flagship product for the future of AI.
While its full release is due later this year, some people believe that OpenAI may preview some of the Orion capabilities during the ongoing livestream series.
Preview Of AI Agent
Besides these updates on ChatGPT and the launch of Sora, OpenAI is rumored to be working on an AI agent that will make history. This agent will be able to perform tasks autonomously on a computer, which is a great advancement in the ambitions of OpenAI to streamline workflows and enhance productivity through AI. The official launch of this agent is expected in 2025, but OpenAI might offer a sneak peek at it in December.
