What the models said then
stableBoth consensus answers state that the release date for GPT-6 is unknown and unannounced. The new answer adds minor context regarding GPT-5.6 tiers and internal next-generation work, but the core conclusion remains unchanged.
OpenAI has not announced a release date for GPT-6. As of August 2026, there is no confirmed public launch window, API model entry, system card, or official announcement for a model explicitly called GPT-6.openaiopenai
What is publicly documented instead is the GPT-5.x line, including GPT-5.6 (with tiers such as Sol, Terra, and Luna), which has been rolling out through ChatGPT and the API.openaiopenai OpenAI’s official news/model pages currently highlight GPT-5.6-related updates rather than a GPT-6 launch.openaiopenai
So the best current answer is:
GPT-6 release date: unknown / not announced.
There are some public signals that OpenAI is working on a “next major model” internally, but that does not amount to a confirmed GPT-6 schedule, and the naming itself may still change.openai Until OpenAI publishes an official product announcement, any date would be speculation.
