Dclife scooped this video and writes:

It seems that the engine has “still” room to grow. At the time of the meeting, I asked the development staff, but the deep learning computing power is 60 times that of the previous ones, and it has not been used up yet. Isn’t there firmware (update)? You said that there is still room for development, so I would like to look forward to future evolution in the same way as everyone else. * Slightly simplified what we are talking about

Panasonic says it is committed to develop the “full MFT lineup”

In this Japanese interview Marketing Manager Tomonori Nakanishi says (google translated):

We believe in the diverse possibilities of Micro Four Thirds, and we are developing such diversified products. In today’s world where full-size machines are becoming more popular in a sense, it may be a unique approach to develop the full-size lineup in-house and at the same time to develop the Micro Four Thirds lineup in full-scale. do not have. However, I believe that this approach will allow the “GH6” to establish a very sharp and unique position in the world at this moment.

Not sure if this means the GX7 and G9 will get a replacement in 2022/2023.
