How we check
AI Release Dates answers one question for each new AI model: who can actually use it today? This page explains how we reach that answer.
What counts as released
“Released” gets used for very different things, so we track four stages separately.
- Announced. The maker has said the model exists.
- Limited access. Selected testers or partners can use it. The public can't.
- Developers. Anyone who meets normal account terms can use it through the public API.
- Consumers. People can use it in the maker's apps, including on paid plans.
Which sources come first
We trust the maker's own posts, documentation and pricing pages first, then independent test labs, then news reports. In our status and price tables, an open or limited status or an exact price needs an official source, and the site won't build without one.
If a maker hasn't given a date, we say so. We may show an estimate from a past launch or a prediction market, but we label it as an estimate.
How often we check
Until a model reaches consumers, we aim to check its official pages at least every 36 hours, and at least weekly after that. Each page shows when it was last checked and when its status last changed. Checking a page without finding a change doesn't count as an update.
Independence and ads
We're an independent site, not affiliated with or endorsed by Google or any other model maker. We don't sell model access, API keys or credits, and this site has no affiliate links or ads today. If that changes, we'll say so here.
