- A chart extrapolating each lab's historical release cadence projects the next three version milestones for OpenAI and Anthropic (forecast starting Nov 15, 2026; author notes these are estimates, not official).
- OpenAI's line: GPT-6.5 Feb 2027, GPT-7 Jun 2027, GPT-7.5 Oct 2027 — a visibly accelerating cadence.
- Anthropic's line: Claude 6 May 2027, Claude 6.5 Nov 2027, Claude 7 Apr 2028 — longer major-version gaps with denser point releases.
- The shaded band represents indicative historical-error range, and the author stresses all names and months are fitted estimates.
