Leakers reveal OpenAI's future roadmap following the GPT-6 era. Codenamed 'Bel', this 'monster' model is slated for a 2026 release and is intended to surpass Fable. Described as a 'giant squid' compared to Astra's 'grand whale', Bel implies a significant scale-up in parameters and compute. Sources suggest that with decreasing compute costs, the industry is returning to aggressive scaling laws, with major labs preparing for major leaps soon.
