GPT-5.6 rumored to be publicly available as early as July 7, Gemini 3.5 Pro may launch on July 17

Tech blogger Leo has revealed that OpenAI may make GPT-5.6 available to the public between July 7 and July 9, with the earliest possible date being July 7. The new model's plan usage quotas are said to be more generous, and OpenAI is further strengthening its safety strategies ahead of the launch.

Additionally, according to sources, Google DeepMind has tentatively scheduled the release of Gemini 3.5 Pro for July 17. Another tech blogger, Astro Polo, stated that Gemini 3.5 Pro will support a 2 million token context window, doubling the 1 million token context window currently supported by Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Claude Fable 5. This makes it more suitable for handling large codebases, lengthy documents, and long conversations.
