Upcoming AI model releases
The next frontier model is always the one nobody has a date for. This page tracks what is genuinely on the horizon, with a hard rule: a release only gets a calendar date when a primary source (a lab announcement, an official event page) states one. Everything else is an expected window, clearly marked. Nothing here is guessed.
What is coming, and when
We currently track 5 confirmed frontier-lab dates where new models are expected, plus 0 entries in an expected window without a fixed date. Each entry below shows the source that backs it and the date we last verified it. Confirmed dates are also published as a calendar feed you can subscribe to, and we send one email on the day a frontier model actually drops. No daily roundup, no rumors.

Confirmed dates to watch
Frontier-lab events with a date confirmed by the lab. These are the entries in the calendar feed. A confirmed event date is not a promise that a specific model ships that day. It is the window the lab has publicly committed to.

How this list is built
- Primary sources only. An entry needs at least one cited primary source: a lab announcement, an official blog, or a filed event page. Aggregators and rumor threads do not qualify and are never used.
- No date without a source. An entry carries a calendar date only when a cited source states that date. If the source gives a window ("later this year", a keynote month), the entry stays in the window list, not the calendar.
- Verified, and dated. Every entry shows when we last verified it against its source. If an entry has not been re-checked in a while, that date tells you so.
- Calendar and alert, not a newsletter. Confirmed dates flow into the .ics feed. The one email we send goes out on the day a frontier model is actually released, verified against our release tracker. That is the whole promise: silence, except on release days.
Nothing on this page meets our bar unless a source does. If you know of a primary-sourced upcoming release we are missing, the fastest path is our contact page.
