GPT-6.5
watchingNot out yet. OpenAI hasn't released GPT-6.5, and no release date is confirmed. What we know so far: not announced — no OpenAI word or date; Nov 4: OpenAI's API changelog (newest entry: GPT-6 Rosalind, Oct 30) and OpenRouter's catalog list no gpt-6.5 id; OpenAI's Nov 3 blog scored an unnamed 'newer internal model' above GPT-6 Astra on its BenchCAD 2.0 test without naming it; that signal is tracked on the GPT-6.2 page; Nov 7: OpenAI's API changelog still has no gpt-6.5 id; its newest entries are GPT-6 Cyber (Nov 5, for approved Daybreak customers) and two image models (Nov 4); OpenRouter's newest OpenAI ids are still GPT-6.1 Terra and Terra Pro (Oct 26), and models.dev lists no gpt-6.5 either; OpenAI's next dated event is its 'Cyber at the Frontier' livestream on Nov 12 at 10am PT. Swept every 60 seconds across provider catalogs. The moment it answers on a public API, alerts fire: a text or a call on paid plans the second it's confirmed, then a free Chrome push and email about 15 minutes later.
