AI models may be new this week. GPT-6 Sol, Opus 5.5 and Grok 4.7 are all in line.
This week may usher in an intensive round of large model updates. At present, at least 7 models have released or test signals.
The first gear: GPT-6 Sol, Claude Opus 5.5. OpenAI has not yet confirmed GPT-6 Sol, but Sam Altman previously said that the "main thing" originally scheduled to be released last week has been postponed to this week; the community has continued to leak GPT-6 Sol tests and grayscale routing recently. On the side of Anthropic, blogger Lyra said that Opus 5.5 is being tested with claude-wafer-eap and is scheduled to be released on Tuesday. Reuters also reported last week that Anthropic is considering launching a new model in the near future, but did not confirm the name Opus 5.5.
The second gear: Grok 4.7, Qwen4, Kimi K3.1. Musk originally said that Grok 4.7 would be launched around September 12, and then it was said that it would take "a few days", but it has not been released yet. Qianwen has made it clear that Qwen3.8-Flash-Next is an advance preview of the Qwen4 architecture, and September 22 to 24 happens to be the Yunqi Conference, but there is no official announcement that Qwen4 will be released at the conference. Kimi's recent π hint has announced K3.1, but there is no release date, model card or API yet.
The third gear: Gemini 4 Pro, DeepSeek V4.1 Pro. Gemini 4 Pro was recently exposed to be tested in Arena under code names such as Argon, but Google has only confirmed that Gemini 4 is in training so far and has not announced the release date. DeepSeek has directly mentioned the future V4.1 Pro in the official document, but also did not give the launch time.
