[Rumor: GPT-5.6 to Open Next Week, Gemini 3.5 Pro Delayed with 2M Context Window Launch] According to monitoring by Beating, tech blogger Leo revealed that OpenAI might publicly release GPT-5.6 between July 7 and 9, with the earliest date being July 7. The new model's package limits are expected to be more flexible, and OpenAI is enhancing security measures prior to the launch. Google DeepMind's Gemini 3.5 Pro is rumored to be tentatively scheduled for release on July 17. Another blogger, Astro Polo, stated that Gemini 3.5 Pro will support a 2 million token context window, which is double the current 1 million token context of Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Claude Fable 5. This makes it more suitable for handling large codebases, extensive documents, and lengthy conversations. [Original Link]
