Shared a model rumor:
- Rumor has it that OpenAI's next batch of models has finished training, with internal/public names being nova and quasar.
- Rumor has it that Ilya and SSI have reached a stage where they need to release a model publicly, planning to drop a frontier-level model in August this year.
The original post described the situation as "the next six months are going to be very fast."
