GPT-6.2 rumor timeline: the rumor was late, not the model

lxfater · x · 2026-11-15

Blogger lxfater compiles the full GPT-6.2 rumor timeline, mocking how AI leak accounts keep iterating their predictions.

• Nov 6: TestingCatalog asked "GPT-6.2 Astra today?"; Nov 11: OpenAI's Codex lead hinted "Thursday," and multiple big leak accounts jumped on it
• Thursday delivered only a Codex usage reset and two cyber products; the story then shifted to "renamed 6.5," "before Nov 19," and finally "there may be no GPT-6.2 at all"
• The quoted post's conclusion: the model isn't late, the rumor is; the poster bets the next flagship ships as GPT-6.5
• lxfater also notes some API resellers already list a "6.2" and quips that leakers set the dates and names, yet OpenAI takes the blame for "delays"
