Launch week preview: three major labs may ship new models in the same week
A video rounds up this week's rumors: Google Gemini 4 Argon, Anthropic Fable 5.5, and OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast and Astra could all arrive in the same week.
Happy Launch Week It's teased to be a defining week for 3 major AI labs, as we are expecting each to release their best models: - Google > Gemini 4 Argon public release - Anthropic > Fable 5.5 & Haiku 5.5 - OpenAI > GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast & GPT-6.1 Astra We could also get news on xAI's Grok 4.8 and finally some actual news on Moonshot's Kimi K3.1. Most leaks seen over the past week/weekend have proved to be conned up lies, but the reality is that Fable 5.5 will come out on top of every other model that'll be released this year. And folks might say yeah, it's pricey given the separate pay plan, but Opus 5.5 is a cheaper version that stands in its own sphere with NO competition. Right now, I'd say the model most are excited/expectant about is Gemini 4 Argon, which claims to be the Anthropic & OpenAI killer. (video made with Opus 5.5 btw) Which one are you most excited for?
