OpenAI: Next model (Astra) awaits security architecture, not training. Significant gains in agentic coding/cybersecurity require stronger controls, making it the least schedulable.
Meta: Watermelon (next Muse Spark) trains with massive compute for a Dec 31 target; delay would question their AI rebuild.
Google: Gemini 3.5 Pro is delayed; Gemini 4 is in pre-training. Expect a delayed 3.5 Pro release first.
Anthropic: Fable 5.1 sightings; Mythos 2 used to train Mythos 3. Stronger internal Model 2 noted in risk report but unreleased.
MiniMax: Plans Q3 release of a 2.7T parameter open-weight model.
Z.ai: Aims to ship a Fable-class open model before year-end.
Nvidia: Cosmos 3 (world gen) and GR00T N2 (robot control) coming; benchmark is successful action in unfamiliar rooms.
