A pull request in OpenAI's public Codex repository reveals references to an unreleased GPT-5.6 model

this suggests to me that GPT-5.6 could be an even more expensive/larger model than GPT-5.5

they did not like that lmao

sorry mr. charles

I should start blacking out the github names, i always feel bad. it's like a pin of shame

@scaling01 Reading between the lines on public statements, I think 5.4 was big, 5.5 smaller, 5.6 back to big. 6.0 gargantuan.

@scaling01 openai bros gotta stop leaking the models they're using in codex via these PRs lmfao

https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29644

but it's also regarded that they don't have any automated checks when you push

@scaling01 I mean we all know it’s coming and of course internally they would be using it, whether we get it any time soon is the debate

@scaling01 gpt - 5.6 already running the backrooms huh wonder when we get the golden ticket for the main floor

@scaling01 bro waat??

@scaling01 👀👀👀

@scaling01 It's delayed as per leaks

@scaling01 Wait, 5.6? That specific version number is wild. Gotta dig into that repo commit history now.

@scaling01 a bigger GPT-5.6 just makes the cost constraint sharper.

kimi-k2.7-code already beats frontier models on ml engineering under a cost ceiling.

@scaling01 HUGE

@ZachyAshworth @scaling01 every tweet based around "GPT 5.6 is delayed" is stemming from the same tweet. a tweet that's just a rumor engagement bait most likely.

annoying that they do this and confuse ppl lol, would rather us just be excited for the new model

@scaling01 interesting, looks like there's more to explore here

@scaling01 Is it still coming this week? What you think?

@scaling01 this is getting interesting.

@scaling01 NUMBER INCREASED

@AndrewCurran_ @scaling01 5.5 is more expensive than 5.4 iirc, so it’s probably bigger
