OpenAI tests 'Aurora' image models on Arena
OpenAI is testing new "Aurora" image models on Arena, according to the testingcatalog daily AI brief, after aurora-red, aurora-green and aurora-blue alpha references briefly appeared in its API. The item comes from a single aggregation-style brief that says it was composed with Grok and post-edited, and OpenAI has not confirmed it. It is an observational signal rather than an official announcement, and the brief mixes it with unrelated items about Anthropic, NVIDIA and MiniMax.
The brief API alpha references and the Arena test listing are the only public traces of an "Aurora" image model cited in the report, with no confirmation or official description from OpenAI.
