OpenAI appears set to launch the GPT-5.6 lineup sometime next week. In addition to the standard model, this lineup will likely include Mini and Pro variants, and early build test results are already being shared among some Pro subscribers.

GPT-5.6 Pro is expected to bring dramatic performance improvements over its predecessor.

  • Context window: Expected to expand from the existing 1 million tokens to 1.5 million tokens
  • Coding capability: Enhanced performance in agentic coding and long-horizon coding tasks
  • Response speed: Faster Codex response times and improved comprehension

The launch of the next-generation voice model GPT-Bidi-1 is also expected. This model features a bidirectional audio system that can listen and speak at the same time, and will be offered in High, Medium, and Instant tiers with capabilities for handling interruptions during conversation and mid-sentence adjustments.
