Claim that DeepMind will beat Opus 5.5 at half price gets publicly called out as bogus
zacharynado · x · 2026-10-01
A circulating claim said Google DeepMind is about to drop a model that outperforms Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra at roughly half the price with the largest context window. Another user publicly debunked it as 'complete BS,' arguing it's implausible for DeepMind to suddenly ship a model maxing out performance, price, and context simultaneously.
The leak remains unverified pending official word.
