Polymarket prices this December 31, 2026 at 86%. The reporting broadly agrees.
OpenAI is on watch for the public release of its next-generation artificial intelligence model, GPT-6, by December 31, 2025. The deadline for public accessibility, including open beta or waitlist sign-ups, is a key point of interest for the tech community. Recent developments, such as the Trump administration lifting restrictions on OpenAI's GPT 5.6 model, could signal a more favorable regulatory environment for the company's future releases. The probability of a release by the end of 2025 currently sits at 86%, reflecting a growing expectation among observers.
Background
OpenAI has consistently pushed the boundaries of AI development, with its GPT series becoming a benchmark for large language models. The progression from GPT-3 to GPT-4 established a pattern of significant advancements between major versions. The potential release of GPT-6 by the specified date continues this trajectory, building on previous iterations and aiming for further leaps in AI capabilities. The resolution of this market hinges on a clearly defined and publicly announced release by OpenAI, accessible to the general public, not merely a private or closed beta.
The precedent
- OpenAI released GPT-3 in June 2020, followed by GPT-4 in March 2023, demonstrating a development cycle of approximately three years between major versions.
