● Developer Lisan al Gaib spotted something interesting – references to three unreleased models buried in OpenAI's Enterprise configuration files. According to their findings, "OpenAI is preparing to ship the GPT-5.1 family with three new models: GPT-5.1, GPT-5.1 Reasoning, and GPT-5.1 Pro," with internal metadata pointing to a November 24 release date.
● Screenshots also revealed the actual descriptions for each model. The base GPT-5.1 is labeled as the "flagship model for the latest generation of ChatGPT." GPT-5.1 Reasoning takes things further – it "thinks longer for better answers," suggesting deeper problem-solving capabilities. The top-tier GPT-5.1 Pro gets the most ambitious label: "research-grade intelligence," hinting at serious enterprise and scientific applications.
● Finding these details in production-level enterprise code is a pretty strong signal that OpenAI is getting ready to roll something out. The structured identifiers (like gpt51Title and gpt51ReasoningDescription) suggest these models are already wired into internal systems, at least partially.
● OpenAI hasn't made any official announcement yet, but the combination of RBAC integration, specific feature descriptions, and a hardcoded date has people thinking the GPT-5.1 family might arrive sooner than expected. With other AI labs racing to ship new models, this positions OpenAI for another major capability jump.
● As these screenshots make the rounds, the AI community is watching for OpenAI's confirmation – which typically comes right before launch.
