What the models said then
stableBoth consensus answers state that OpenAI has not announced an official release date for GPT-6. The new consensus adds nuance about signs of work on next-generation models but does not change the central conclusion.
OpenAI has not announced an official release date for GPT-6.openaiopenaibloomberglaw The most recent public releases and release notes still center on the GPT-5.x family, including GPT-5.6, rather than GPT-6.openaiopenai
There are signs that OpenAI is working on a more capable pre-release model and has discussed next-generation models in public and government-briefing contexts, but those reports do not confirm the model is called GPT-6 or give a launch date.openaibloomberglawaxios So the most accurate answer is:
GPT-6’s release date is unknown right now.
If you want a rough expectation, public commentary and industry speculation suggest it could arrive in the 2026–2027 range, but that is not officially confirmed and should be treated as speculation, not a release schedule.openai
