Expected soon. OpenAI has not announced a release date. The GPT-5.6 series shipped as named tiers (Sol, Terra, Luna), and 5.7 is expected to follow the pattern with Zinc at the top of the family.
GPT-5.7 "Zinc" is the expected flagship tier of OpenAI's GPT-5.7 family - deeper reasoning, longer horizons, built for hard multi-step work. Expected soon, and Magnus adds it to the model roster the day the API is live.

The flagship tier is where OpenAI ships its deepest reasoning: longer autonomous runs, harder problems, more headroom for multi-step work. Benchmarks will be added here when OpenAI publishes them - we do not reprint pre-launch rumors as numbers.
When the API goes live, Zinc appears in the model picker for OpenAI keys and on the All-inclusive plan without any action on your side. Credit pricing will be set from the published API price at launch.
