Three new model references appear in the OpenAI API
On October 18, 2026, three model references—aurora-red-alpha, aurora-green-alpha, and aurora-blue-alpha—appeared on the OpenAI API. After TestingCatalog discovered these references, they were quickly removed, and the outlet judged this to be an accidental deployment. TestingCatalog believes that it is very unlikely ordinary users will be able to test these alpha models in the short term; what is more likely is a Daybreak update announcement, while other model release plans cannot be ruled out. There is currently no further evidence-backed development.
