Model roadmap hints at a late-June release and a possible 150B run

The image quotes a discussion about the next release cadence and the company's model roadmap.
Key points:
- The current GCV4 release is described as still rough.
- The next version may arrive around late June, with a comfortable cadence of one release every 2–3 months.
- At the 50B activated-parameter scale, the speaker thinks the model will not differ much from the current open-source wave.
- They say the gap to a larger unpublished model is still large and would likely require something around 150B.
- Based on current progress, training 150B might start by year-end or at least by next April.
The accompanying text says V4 GA is being delayed, that it was wanted in June, and that Wenfeng hoped to start training a model with 150B active parameters by late 2026 to April 2027.
