September's model release blitz makes a packed October feel dead

The author notes September's AI release blitz (Fable 5.1, GPT-6 Astra, DeepSeek V4.1-Flash, Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol/Luna, Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Gemini 4 Argon) was so dense that October — which still shipped Mistral Large 4, MiniMax M3.1 Flash, Muse Wonder, DeepSeek V4.1-Flash-1017, Kimi K3.1 Pro and GPT-6.1 Terra — now feels slow. Flagship-level model drops every month have become the industry norm.
