Fact check
AI analysis“OpenAI’s GPT-6 model updates were released just 90 minutes later.”
Reasoning
All provided evidence—OpenAI’s official model list, a statement from CEO Sam Altman, and a Reuters report—state that no GPT‑6 model has been released or scheduled, making the claim that updates were released 90 minutes later factually incorrect.
