Answer from Aug 5See the current answer
OpenAI has not announced a release date for GPT-6. As of the latest official public information, there is no confirmed launch date, and
OpenAI has not even publicly committed to the next model being named “GPT-6.”[1][2][3]
What the current primary evidence shows is that OpenAI’s public releases are still centered on the GPT-5.x family:
There is also mention of an internal “next major model” in recent OpenAI research output, but that does not include a public launch date or confirm that the model will be branded as GPT-6.[1]
Bottom line: GPT-6’s release date is unknown at this time. The safest answer is that there is no official public date yet.[1][2][3]

The new answer omits and effectively contradicts the old answer’s central claim that OpenAI officially confirmed an internal unreleased model called Astra. It instead states that no successor has been officially announced, changing the conclusion about what OpenAI has publicly acknowledged.
