To follow new AI model releases automatically, subscribe to each lab's own feeds: OpenAI's news RSS feed, Anthropic's Claude Platform release notes feed (its news page has no RSS) and Google's two AI blog feeds. Then a feed reader rule, an IFTTT or Zapier applet, or an Avos news alert tells you which new post is a launch.
This guide is for developers, product teams and anyone who needs to know the day a model ships, without checking five blogs and changelogs. Every feed address below was opened on 6 November 2026 on the lab's own site. Full disclosure: Avos is our product, so it comes last; for many people the free routes are enough.
Where do OpenAI, Anthropic and Google announce new models?
Each lab tends to announce a major model in two places: a post for everyone on its blog, and an entry in its developer release notes, often on the same day. On 5 November 2026, OpenAI's API changelog listed gpt-6-cyber while its news feed carried the GPT-6 Cyber announcement, and Google's Gemini API release notes marked Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash "generally available (GA)" as both of Google's AI blogs posted about it.
| Lab | Channel | RSS feed |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | News | https://openai.com/news/rss.xml |
| OpenAI | API changelog | None on the page |
| Anthropic | News | None |
| Anthropic | Claude Platform release notes (API, SDKs, Console) | https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/release-notes/feed.xml |
| Anthropic | Claude apps release notes | None |
| Google DeepMind news | https://deepmind.google/blog/rss.xml | |
| Google Blog, AI section | https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/ai/rss/ | |
| Gemini API release notes | None | |
| Gemini app release notes | None |
OpenAI. The news feed is the whole blog, not just launches: 561 posts in 2026 up to 6 November, nearly two a day. Of its eight newest posts that day, one was a model launch. The API changelog lists new model IDs and features by date (platform.openai.com/docs/changelog redirects there) and links OpenAI's developer account on X, @OpenAIDevs.
Anthropic. The news page has no RSS feed and no email sign-up; it links the X account @AnthropicAI. The Claude Platform release notes do have a feed, and API model launches appear in it: its entry for 22 September 2026 begins "We've launched Claude Opus 5.5". Most entries are smaller API changes, so it needs a filter too. That page links the @claudeai account; the Claude apps' release notes have no feed.
Google. Model news is split between Google DeepMind's news page and the Google Blog's AI section, both with feeds; the blog's old feed address, blog.google/technology/ai/rss/, redirects to the new one. The Gemini API release notes, now on Google AI Studio, and the Gemini app's release notes have no feed. On X, DeepMind's page links @GoogleDeepMind and the app's notes link @GeminiApp. Google's weekly email newsletter covers all of Google, with no choice of topics.
What are the ways to get an alert when a new model ships?
Something still has to tell you which new post matters, and keywords struggle: neither "GPT-6 Cyber: Advancing the frontier of aligned cybersecurity agents" nor "Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: Fast and cost-effective with longer clips" contains the word "model".
A feed reader. Inoreader's free plan follows up to 150 RSS feeds. On Pro, rules check every new article for conditions such as "Title contains" or "Content contains" and can send you "a push notification, a desktop alert or an email"; Pro includes 30 rules. Matching the text as well as the title helps. Feedly reads the same feeds, and its Pro+ plan adds AI Feeds and an RSS Builder that, in Feedly's words, lets you "create your own feeds for websites that don't offer RSS" (plan guide).
IFTTT or Zapier. IFTTT's RSS service has a "New feed item matches" trigger that fires when a new item "contains a particular keyword or simple phrase", and "Send me an email" delivers it; one applet watches one feed. Zapier's "New Items in Multiple Feeds" watches all the labs' feeds in one Zap, but its free plan allows two-step Zaps, keeps the Filter step for paid plans and lets Email by Zapier send up to 5 emails a day. OpenAI's feed alone averages about 55 posts a month, more than half of the free plan's 100 tasks if every item becomes an email.
X notifications. The fastest route: on an account's profile in the X app, tap the notification icon for all posts (X help). The accounts linked from the labs' own pages are @OpenAIDevs, @AnthropicAI, @claudeai, @GoogleDeepMind and @GeminiApp. You get every post, launches or not.
An Avos news alert. It reads the feeds and X accounts you pick, judges each new item against a condition written in plain words, and emails you the matches, each with a line on why.
How do the options compare?

How do you set up a model release alert in Avos?
- Describe it. Open Alerts, then New alert, and write one sentence: "Email me when OpenAI, Anthropic or Google releases a new AI model or makes one generally available." Or choose Set up manually for the form.
- Add the feeds. As RSS feeds: OpenAI News, the Claude Platform release notes, Google DeepMind's news and the Google Blog's AI section, from the table above. For Anthropic's announcements, add the X account @AnthropicAI. An alert reads a handful of feeds, so keep to the ones where launches appear.
- Write the condition. "A new AI model, or a new version of one, is released, launched or made generally available, in the apps or the API. Not research papers, customer stories, policy posts or events." AI reads each new item against it and notes why it matched or didn't.
- Preview it. Before saving, see what the alert would have caught in the last 3 days. If a customer story slips through, tighten the condition.
- Choose the delivery. As it happens, a daily digest or a weekly report, at the time and in the timezone you pick. Alerts sent as it happens have a daily cap you can change.
What to expect:
- Timing. News alerts are checked on a schedule set by your plan, so an email can arrive up to one check after the post. X accounts cost more per check and are checked less often than RSS feeds; the form lets you choose how often. If minutes matter, keep X notifications on too.
- No repeats. A launch posted on both Google blogs arrives once, and rewrites of a launch you already got in the last two weeks are skipped.
- Dead feeds. Avos checks every RSS feed daily; if one stops working, the form marks it and you get one email.
- Cost. Each check and each alert sent uses a small amount of credits; RSS feeds are the cheap kind, and failed checks are never charged. The form shows an estimate before you save, and news monitoring has the details.
Rather read it once a day? Put the same feeds in a News section of a daily Avos briefing, with the filter "Only new models, model versions and general availability; skip customer stories and events", the timeframe Last 24 hours and the format Headlines with descriptions. A quiet day reads short. How to keep up with AI news builds a whole AI briefing around it.
When is another option the better choice?
- You need to know within minutes. X notifications beat any scheduled check.
- You already read in Inoreader or Feedly. Add a rule or an AI Feed there.
- You want it free. One IFTTT applet per lab feed costs nothing, if you accept that some launch titles won't contain your keyword.
- You build on one lab's API. Read its changelog or release notes feed in full: every entry matters to you, including changes such as deprecations that a "new model" condition leaves out.
- You want analysis. An alert tells you a model shipped; what it means is a job for a newsletter.
FAQ
Does Anthropic have an RSS feed?
Not for its news page, as of 6 November 2026. Its Claude Platform release notes have one, https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/release-notes/feed.xml, which announces new models on the API. For other announcements, follow @AnthropicAI on X; our guide to finding a website's RSS feed covers sites without one.
What is OpenAI's RSS feed?
https://openai.com/news/rss.xml, the feed of OpenAI's news page. It carries every post, from launches to customer stories, so pair it with a rule, a keyword or an alert condition.
Do the labs' status pages announce new models?
No. status.openai.com and status.claude.com report incidents, such as elevated error rates. Both have an RSS history feed (https://status.openai.com/history.rss, https://status.claude.com/history.rss) if you also want outage alerts.
Can an Avos alert watch a lab's X account?
Yes. Add the account to an alert with a condition such as "announces a new model". X accounts use more credits per check than RSS feeds and are checked less often; our guide to a daily X digest has more on X feeds.
