Continual Learning? Why is this even a question? Isn’t it a well-known glaring issue with the current models? They cannot learn/adapt to new skills (in any permanent sense) once they are deployed.
It does not introduce incompatibilities with earlier 5.x models? Frontier models are at a point now that there will never be a need for another major version bump, aside from those chasing marketing gimmicks. They are smart enough to adapt.
New request/response schema, new capabilities, or really anything that would break your existing workflows if you changed “5.5” to “5.6” in your application.
There have been many leaps forward in the past - tool calling, reasoning, agentic loops etc. 5.6 doesn’t have any of this. More intelligence doesn’t necessarily warrant a major version bump.
Given the expectations everyone has created GPT-6 has to pretty much be AGI.
What is your definition of AGI that the current LLMs don't fit?
Autonomously Generating Income (which is why it will never be released to the general public)

As the old saying goes, I’ll know it when I see it. The current 5.x generation isn’t it.
Always one goalpost away from what we have.
You’d have to really stretch the definition of AGI to make the current models fit

AGI should be able to do every job a human can do using a computer at least as well as the average human.

They forgot how to do pretraining.
5.5 was a new pretraining run.

What would it mean to be incompatible with the other 5.x models?

Why would incompatibilities have anything to do with a major version bump?
not true. multimodality is still far from being solved
A major bump will be warranted if/when we can truly separate prompt from data.
That is a different product line. It may be recorded as a version bump for marketing purposes, as already mentioned, but semantically begins at 0.
