According to tech blogger Leo, OpenAI may roll out GPT-5.6 as early as July 7, with a window through July 9. The new model will feature more generous quota allocations, and OpenAI is strengthening safety protocols before launch.
Google DeepMind's Gemini 3.5 Pro is scheduled for July 17, according to blogger Astro Polo. The model will support a 2 million token context window, double that of Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Claude Fable 5, making it more suitable for handling large codebases, extensive documents, and long conversations.
