Models & research

  • GPT-5.6 briefly appeared in OpenAI Codex’s internal rollout-mapping logs and then disappeared — standard sign of internal testing, not a public release. Polymarket prices a June 30 release at ~68–80%. No official announcement. wavespeed.ai · tokenmix.ai tracker
  • Gemini 3.5 Pro still not GA as of June 6. Google announced it at I/O on May 19 with a 2M-token context window and a “Deep Think” reasoning mode; no confirmed ship date yet. TechTimes June 6
