Rumor watch
Last updated Jun 19, 2026
Publicly announced models that are not broadly available yet, restricted models like Mythos and Fable, and more speculative release reports. Rumors stay labeled until a primary source or public release confirms them.
Official signals
Models with a vendor announcement, public preview, or clear launch signal, but not yet a normal broadly available release.

DeepMind - May 19, 2026
Google DeepMind model announced at Google I/O 2026 but not released at the event. Sundar Pichai told attendees to wait until the following month; Google positioned it as the most powerful Gemini model in the works.
Meta - Apr 5, 2025
Meta's announced but unreleased Llama 4 teacher model: a multimodal MoE with 288B active parameters and nearly 2T total parameters. Meta says it was still training when Scout and Maverick shipped and that those released models were distilled from Behemoth.
Limited access
Models reported as real but gated, suspended, withdrawn, or limited to vetted partners rather than the broader public.
Anthropic - Jun 9, 2026
The public, guardrailed sibling of Mythos and Anthropic's first Mythos-class model for general use. It launched in June 2026 and was then pulled under a U.S. government intervention that restricted Fable and Mythos access.
OpenAI - May 7, 2026
OpenAI's limited-preview cybersecurity model for vetted defenders in Trusted Access for Cyber. It is tuned for more permissive authorized security workflows such as vulnerability triage, patch validation, malware analysis, red teaming, and controlled exploit validation, but is not generally available.
Anthropic - Apr 7, 2026
A frontier model Anthropic disclosed but declined to release publicly, citing security risk. Access was limited through Project Glasswing and later suspended during the Fable/Mythos government intervention.
Speculative file
Reports, executive comments, codenames, and launch-window claims that have not yet become public release records.
Z.ai - Jun 19, 2026
A speculative Z.ai frontier model tracked after Z.ai founder Jie Tang responded to Elon Musk's prediction of a Chinese Fable 5-class model by saying it would not take that long. Name, architecture, weights, and launch timing remain unconfirmed.
Meta - Mar 13, 2026
Meta's reported next frontier model after Llama 4, tracked under the internal codename Avocado. Reports say the model was delayed after internal trials lagged the strongest Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic models; access, license, and final branding remain unconfirmed.
DeepSeek - Aug 14, 2025
Rumored successor to DeepSeek R1. Reports say development and launch timing were affected by hardware constraints around Huawei Ascend training and Nvidia availability; final specs, license, and release date remain unconfirmed.
xAI - Aug 8, 2025
Rumored next major Grok model. Elon Musk said after GPT-5's launch that Grok 5 would arrive before the end of 2025, but no broad public Grok 5 release is logged in this catalog yet.
