Four key points
GPT-7 release date
As of 2026-11-05, OpenAI has published no GPT-7 release date, and its model docs list no GPT-7 specs or pricing.
Latest API changelog entry
That entry is gpt-6-rosalind, a life-sciences model open only to approved organizations; it is not GPT-7.
Official gpt-7 model page
Requesting the gpt-7 model doc path on 2026-11-05 returned 404 Not found; GPT-7 is also absent from the changelog and the model overview.
Newest general-purpose model
GPT-6.1 Terra (gpt-6.1-terra), described in the changelog as fast and efficient; the model overview still calls GPT-6 Astra the flagship.
What this question is asking
As of 2026-11-05, OpenAI has not announced GPT-7 or any release date for it: GPT-7 appears in neither the API changelog nor the model overview, whose featured models include GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6.1 Terra. The @OpenAI post of 2026-10-26 introducing GPT-6.1 Terra also gave advice on which model to pick: for in-depth research or complex coding, choose GPT-6.1 Sol or GPT-6 Astra.
What OpenAI said most recently
On 2026-10-26 @OpenAI wrote that GPT-6.1 Terra continues to advance the cost-intelligence frontier across its model families. That is the latest public statement about the model families that we found, and it does not mention GPT-7.
Official timeline
OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra in the API changelog, calling it its most capable model, built for the hardest end-to-end work.
GPT-6.1 Sol (gpt-6.1-sol) was released for complex coding and professional work at a lower cost than GPT-6 Astra; GPT-6 Sol had come out on 2026-09-22.
GPT-6.1 Terra (gpt-6.1-terra) was released, described as fast and efficient for visual reasoning, precise computer use and clear, natural writing.
Official statements vs third-party claims
Officially confirmed
All verifiable word for word in the official pages fetched on 2026-11-05: the newest API changelog entry is gpt-6-rosalind (2026-10-30); the general-purpose models released since September include GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6.1 Terra, and none of their release entries mentions GPT-7; the gpt-7 model doc path returns 404; the model overview calls GPT-6 Astra the flagship. The gaps between these releases are only the GPT-6 family's past pace and say nothing about a GPT-7 date. What the community says about GPT-6.2 has its own page at /gpt-6-2-release-date.
⚠️ Third-party estimates and rumors (OpenAI has confirmed none of them)
① Release timing: third parties have made various guesses about when GPT-7 will ship, such as Pluralsight's estimate from past release pace (page dated 2026-09-10) and the estimate on LifeArchitect.ai's GPT-7 page (updated 2026-10-08); OpenAI has confirmed none of them, and the same Pluralsight page states that OpenAI has not announced, previewed, teased or named GPT-7. ② Bel: Pluralsight records that an anonymous X account claimed on 2026-08-25 that OpenAI finished a pretraining run called Bel, and rates it unverified (single anonymous source, no OpenAI document seen by any outlet, no OpenAI confirmation). All of the above are third-party claims, not OpenAI statements.
Models with official pages vs names that only circulate
Official model pages (current)
GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6.1 Terra: each has a page in OpenAI's model overview and a dated release entry in the changelog.
No official page
GPT-7: absent from the model overview and the changelog; what circulates is third-party guesswork and an anonymous Bel claim.
What to do now
① To check whether GPT-7 has shipped, look at two places: OpenAI's API changelog and model overview; once OpenAI publishes it, this page will be updated with the official date and model ID. ② To use GPT today: for in-depth research or complex coding OpenAI points to GPT-6.1 Sol or GPT-6 Astra, and describes GPT-6.1 Terra as fast and efficient. ③ In Codex, set model in ~/.codex/config.toml; the docs.qcode.cc Codex page recommends gpt-6.1-sol. ④ Do not put gpt-7 into a production config: no official doc lists that ID.
On QCode
Getting started in three steps: ① create an account; ② top up (Alipay, WeChat Pay, cards, crypto); ③ set up ~/.codex/config.toml (base_url https://api.qcode.cc/openai, model gpt-6.1-sol) and auth.json (your QCode key) as the docs.qcode.cc Codex page shows. As of 2026-11-05, QCode's /models lists gpt-6-astra, gpt-6.1-sol, gpt-6.1-terra and gpt-6-sol among others, billed per token with unit prices on /models. Not ready for a monthly plan?

Frequently asked questions
Is GPT-7 out?
No. As of 2026-11-05 OpenAI has not released GPT-7: the newest API changelog entry is gpt-6-rosalind on 2026-10-30 and the newest general-purpose model is GPT-6.1 Terra from 2026-10-26. The current state is whatever OpenAI's changelog and model overview say.
When will GPT-7 be released?
OpenAI has published no GPT-7 release date as of 2026-11-05. Third parties have made various guesses (for example the Pluralsight page of 2026-09-10 and the LifeArchitect.ai page updated 2026-10-08); OpenAI has confirmed none of them.
Are GPT-6.2 and GPT-7 the same thing?
No official statement links them. As of 2026-11-05 neither GPT-7 nor GPT-6.2 appears in OpenAI's changelog or model overview. What the community says about 6.2, with sources, is on /gpt-6-2-release-date.
Which GPT model should I use now?
OpenAI's 2026-10-26 post says to choose GPT-6.1 Sol or GPT-6 Astra for in-depth research or complex coding, and its changelog calls GPT-6.1 Terra fast and efficient. QCode's /models lists all three.
How soon does QCode add a new model after OpenAI releases it?
Whether a new model is available, and when it appears, follows QCode's /models list. As of 2026-11-05, GPT-7 is not on /models.
Are the Bel claim and GPT-7 release-date guesses reliable?
Neither is an OpenAI statement. Bel comes from an anonymous X account (2026-08-25) that Pluralsight rates unverified; the release-date guesses come from third-party sites such as Pluralsight and LifeArchitect.ai. OpenAI has confirmed neither.
Sources
