OpenAI GPT-5 series rollout

Overview

In early July 2026, OpenAI announced that its GPT‑5.6 series – Sol, Terra and Luna – was now publicly available, ending a limited government‑only preview. The release added the new ChatGPT Work platform and integrated Codex into the desktop ChatGPT app, bringing advanced code‑editing features to users. At the same time, analysis of the OpenRouter platform showed Chinese AI models climbing to 20 of the 50 most‑used models worldwide, indicating a shift in global model usage.

By the end of July, OpenAI launched GPT‑5 (July 29) with markedly improved text‑generation capabilities and updated its Python SDK to version 2.0, introducing breaking changes for developers. The model release was part of a broader wave of developer‑focused tools, including Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot X, Vercel’s Next.js 15, Amazon’s AWS CLI v3, and several open‑source utilities aimed at AI‑assisted coding and workflow integration.
