OpenAI officially denied GPT-6 release by end of year
At OpenAI they decided to cool public expectations and confessed: GPT-6 won’t happen this year. But don’t rush to be upset – this doesn’t mean the company is sitting idle.
OpenAI currently has several versions of GPT-5, and they continue improving them. By default, ChatGPT runs GPT-5 Auto mode, which automatically switches between standard and reasoning versions.
Also, since launch OpenAI has already updated GPT-5 several times. And it seems the company intends to continue refining the current version instead of rushing with 6.
Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney stated in an interview for CNBC that GPT-6 will appear by end of year and OpenAI will gradually improve the model. Sounds nice, right? Only that official company representatives quickly refuted this statement. An OpenAI employee on Twitter said directly: By end of year there won’t be version 6.
Obviously the company is working on GPT-6 – how could it not. But when this neural network becomes publicly available, nobody knows yet. It seems at OpenAI they decided not to chase numbers in names, but focus on real improvement of what already exists. Well, let’s see how long they hold out without loud announcements of new versions.
