Grok 5 — timeline now clearly Q3 2026+: After missing Q1, Q2, and the June 30 deadline, xAI's Grok 5 (6T params, Colossus 2) has no public date. Prediction markets (Kalshi, Manifold) give ~33% probability of release by end of July. Monthly cadence announced for Grok 4.x series continues; Grok 4.5 remains in Tesla/SpaceX private beta. "Still months away" characterization now circulating in aggregator coverage as of July 5. → xAI

GPT-5.6 Sol — broader rollout this week?: OpenAI told staff "a couple of weeks" after the June 26 limited preview. That window opens around July 7–10. Sol/Terra/Luna pricing confirmed: Sol $5/$30 per Mtok, Terra $2.50/$15, Luna $1/$6. No ChatGPT consumer access during preview. → GPT-5.6 Sol (and Terra, Luna) · OpenAI

Gemini 3.5 Pro — July target, no date: Quality refinements still cited (token-efficiency, long-horizon agentic tasks). Still Vertex AI limited enterprise preview only. Original GA was June, then "late June," now "July." If missed again, watch for a rebrand/restructure. → Gemini 3.5 Pro · Google DeepMind

Meta Watermelon — still training: No external release date. Alexandr Wang's internal town hall (July 2) claim of GPT-5.5 parity still unverified (no disclosed benchmarks). Meta Connect 2026 flagged as likely reveal venue. → Meta AI

Anthropic Pentagon case — D.C. Circuit pending: N.D. Cal. preliminary injunction against the supply-chain designation remains in effect. D.C. Circuit ruling still pending after May 20 oral arguments; no resolution this week. → Anthropic · source
