Is OpenAI preparing a three-model release soon? About 2 hours ago, 3 unknown OpenAI models have appeared with the names 'aurora-blue-alpha', 'aurora-red-alpha' and 'aurora-green-alpha'. About 1 hour after that, 3 new models have appeared on Design Arena with unknown names 'aspen', 'cypress' and 'maple'. I believe those could be the same exact models tested by OpenAI, but of course I got no proof.
