Stated in more than one earlier check, absent from this one. Nothing here was retracted — the models simply stopped saying it. 1 of the 4 checks listed no statements at all and count as gaps, not as absences.

What the models said then
minorUpdated the date to July 26, 2026, and added the preview date of GPT-5.6 (June 26, 2026) for additional context. Conclusion remains unchanged.
As of July 26, 2026, OpenAI has not announced a release date for GPT-6. There is no official blog post, model card, API documentation entry, or release note confirming that GPT-6 exists or giving a launch timeline openaiopenai.openai
What the live official sources do show is that OpenAI’s latest public model generation is still GPT-5.6:
- GPT-5.6 was previewed on June 26, 2026 and then broadly released on July 9, 2026 openai.openai
- OpenAI’s model release notes list GPT-5.6 and earlier models, but not GPT-6.openai
So the best current answer is:
There is no publicly confirmed GPT-6 release date yet.
If GPT-6 is coming next, the timing is still unannounced; anything like “late 2026” or “2027” is speculation rather than an official OpenAI commitment.
If you want, I can also summarize the latest official OpenAI model roadmap signals and what they imply about when GPT-6 might appear.

A source dropping out is part of the record too: it carried an earlier version of this answer and is not part of the current one. The models re-run their own web search on every check, so single links come and go. The 8 most recently dropped are shown here, dated to their last appearance.
