OpenAI三款Aurora图像模型现身API与Arena
TestingCatalog报道，aurora-red-alpha、aurora-green-alpha与aurora-blue-alpha三个模型标识本周末短暂出现在OpenAI API列表中，随后被撤下，该媒体推测这可能是一次意外上线。随后同名模型出现在Arena的盲测中并生成图像，测试者Lumina猜测这就是GPT-Image-3，并称红版出图更快但画质稍逊、绿版更慢但效果更好；这些均为个人体验，未公布完整对比数据。品玩援引orcaroute与CellCog称这三个标识在97秒内创建、所有者字段为system，OpenAI未公布其身份与发布安排，也没有任何文档或定价信息。
智东西指出，OpenAI上一次更新图像模型是9月8日的ChatGPT Images 2.5，其Flare与Sunburst在Arena 10月7日的文生图总榜中分列前二，因此这组新代号被视为下一代图像模型的线索。
If fresh leaks and tests are anything to go by, then it looks like OpenAI might be getting GPT-Image-3 ready. Three new model references, aurora-red-alpha, aurora-green-alpha, and aurora-blue-alpha, briefly appeared in OpenAI's API this weekend, and within hours they were turning up in blind arena tests producing images.
We caught the names through an alert on the Dev Mode Discord server. The references were pulled shortly after, which looked like an accidental rollout.

Lumina soon highlighted that all three models appear to be image models currently tested on Arena. They even shared a second cat from aurora-green-alpha. Of course, two cat portraits won't tell anyone much about quality, but both look clean and detailed. Still, based on the images we've seen so far, none of them look like they'd make you write home about.
