GPT-6 branch naming surfaces in OpenAI repo, pointing to computer-use focus

Leak account scaling01 posted "Say hi to GPT-6," noting that Sam Altman has repeatedly expressed excitement about GPT-6's computer use capabilities, suggesting OpenAI may soon demo GPT-6—possibly a small-scale demo—and attached a demo link. scaling01 later followed up with a screenshot of the previously mentioned GPT-6-related branch naming, calling them "interesting branch names" as further corroboration of the rumor.

Confirmed

User kimmonismus discovered a new PR (#71) in OpenAI's open-source openai-cua-sample-app repository, with the branch named codex/gpt6-computer-use-images. The submitter XMLIU-oai attempted to merge two new environment images (with names containing gpt6-js, etc.). The repository and PR themselves are publicly verifiable facts.

Not Yet Confirmed

The existence, naming, and imminent demo of GPT-6 have not been officially confirmed by OpenAI; the branch naming could merely be internal testing traces or even a naming mistake, and does not necessarily indicate a product release. scaling01's series of leaks (including the demo link) remains unverified information.

Why It Matters

Computer use is seen as a key capability for next-generation Agent models. If GPT-6 indeed centers on computer use, it would directly reshape the landscape of office automation and browser/desktop Agent applications. Naming leaks in public repositories offer a rare window into OpenAI's internal progress, which explains why this rumor spread so quickly.
