Three mystery OpenAI models spotted: aurora-red/green/blue-alpha registered but not yet accessible
BLCNYY · x · 2026-10-18
Developers spotted three previously unknown OpenAI model names: aurora-red-alpha, aurora-green-alpha, and aurora-blue-alpha (unverified).
Testing screenshots show aurora-red-alpha returns a 503 (no available capacity), while the other two return 404 (no access) — suggesting the models are registered on the deployment side but not yet opened up. The three-color naming hints at variants of a shared base.
