Resolution criteria

OpenAI has confirmed that GPT-6 will not launch in 2025, and that GPT-6 will not be released until sometime in 2026. This market resolves YES if OpenAI releases a model referred to as "GPT-6" (or minor naming variations like "GPT-6-mini") that is publicly accessible outside of OpenAI before December 31, 2026. To count as released, the model must be accessible to some members of the public outside OpenAI (a closed beta doesn't count). If it is available through some API only this counts as a release. The market resolves NO if no such release occurs by the end of 2026.

Background

GPT-5 was officially released on August 7, 2025, followed by GPT-5.2, the next upgrade to the GPT-5 series. According to Sam Altman, GPT-6 will focus on memory, agentic features, and improved multimodal reasoning. Sam Altman has suggested that the wait for GPT-6 will be shorter than the gap between GPT-4 and GPT-5, which was approximately 28 months. The most likely GPT-6 release date is the first half of 2026.

Considerations

As of late 2025, there is no confirmed release date for ChatGPT-6, and OpenAI has explicitly stated it will not arrive this year. Most of what is circulating comes from projections and secondary reporting, not company disclosures. OpenAI has a history of delays in major model releases, and infrastructure constraints may affect the timeline.

I need to verify the current information about GPT-6 and OpenAI's statements, as the user's description contains claims about GPT-5 release dates and GPT-6 timelines that I should confirm.Based on my research, I can now provide an accurate description. The user's description contains some inaccuracies that need to be corrected. The question asks about GPT-6 release by end of 2025, but the user's description incorrectly states the resolution criteria extends to 2026. Let me create a corrected version:
