The report stated that the three Aurora codenames briefly appeared, with samples already available for the red and green versions, but neither their purpose nor affiliation has received official confirmation.

OpenAI Suspected testing of next-generation image models: three “Aurora” codenames emerge, with red and green versions already revealed
Beating AI Flash,October 18, developers discovered that OpenAI's API model list briefly displayed three mysterious codenames: aurora-red-alpha, aurora-green-alpha, and aurora-blue-alpha. All three models are named after Aurora(Aurora).
Initially, some internet users speculated that they were subsequent experimental versions of GPT-6. However,AI model-evaluation account Lumina subsequently encountered the red and green versions in Arena's blind image-generation tests and displayed images of cats they generated. The red version generated images faster, while the green version offered better image quality. No public generation samples are currently available for the blue version.
The community therefore speculates that these may be different test versions of OpenAI's next-generation image model.

Key points
01
Beating AI said,October 18, developers discovered that OpenAI's API model list briefly displayed aurora-red-alpha, aurora-green-alpha, and aurora-blue-alpha.
02
All three codenames are named after Aurora(Aurora).
03
According to the original article, some internet users initially speculated that these codenames were subsequent experimental versions of GPT-6.
04
AI Model-evaluation account Lumina said it encountered the red and green versions in Arena's blind image-generation tests and displayed images of cats they generated.
05
According to results displayed by Lumina, the red version generated images faster, while the green version offered better image quality.
06
According to the original article, the blue version currently has no public generation samples.
07
The community therefore speculates that these codenames may be OpenAI's different test versions of a next-generation image model.
AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
What can currently be confirmed is only the observation relayed by the media: the three Aurora codenames briefly appeared, and Lumina displayed generation samples from the red and green versions. “Next-generation image model” remains community speculation, not an official conclusion by OpenAI.
Why it matters to readers
If these codenames are later confirmed to belong to new image models, they may reflect different testing priorities for generation speed and image quality across versions; existing evidence remains insufficient to confirm their specific product positioning.
Beginners should distinguish between codenames appearing in a list and the official release of a new model, and should not judge overall performance based solely on a small number of displayed samples.
Risks and unknowns
OpenAI The original article provided no official explanation as to whether these codenames and their specific purposes have been confirmed.
Whether these codenames are indeed OpenAI's next-generation image model remains unconfirmed.
The conclusion that the red version is faster and the green version has better image quality is based on the stated samples; whether it can be replicated is unknown.
aurora-blue-alpha currently has no public generation samples.
The original article did not specify the developers' identities, how long the codenames appeared, or verifiable API records.
