[Rumor: GPT-5.6 and Gemini 3.5 Pro Delayed to July, OpenAI's New Voice Model May Launch This Week] According to monitoring by Beating, well-known tech blogger @synthwavedd revealed that several highly anticipated AI frontier models have adjusted their release schedules this week. Both GPT-5.6 and Gemini 3.5 Pro have been delayed. The previously rumored release of GPT-5.6 this week has now been pushed back to mid-July. Meanwhile, Google DeepMind, dissatisfied with the current state of the model, has canceled the planned late-June release of Gemini 3.5 Pro. While multiple models face delays, OpenAI's next-generation bidirectional voice model, Bidi, is progressing on the ChatGPT platform and may be made available to users as early as this week. Bidi supports full-duplex communication, allowing users to speak simultaneously with the large model or interrupt at any time, positioning it as a significant upgrade to existing voice models. Anthropic has already granted some enterprise clients early access to Claude Sonnet 5. With the flagship models Mythos 5 and Fable 5 stuck in a release bottleneck, Claude Sonnet 5 is being viewed by Anthropic as a transitional solution to alleviate competitive pressure. [Original Link]
