OK, news coming in, it seems the one currently flying in Shenyang is the loyal wing man drone version from SAC 6th gen program just as the pic shown in the photo according to Mr. grass root, he is the first that shed light on this news from his weibo account, he also mentioned the manned version aircraft is coming soon.

Shenyang out here with the full course meal for us lol a loyal wing man drone as big as a flanker that's crazy. I Hope to see the manned version aircraft in the sky soon
probably not true, since the drone and manned version both have to be on board carrier.
There is no side by side comparison in the leaked video yet, so it's too early to say the drone is as big as a flanker.
过几天北边还有一个 = In a few days there's still something coming from the north.
Basically implying that something else from SAC will take flight in the coming days. let him cook!

So, the so called sixth generation is not a single plane, it is a concept of winning the future air dominance, maybe more things would later fit under the program.
On Boxing Day 26 December 2024, pictures and video emerged of a new Chinese stealth aircraft, featuring a unique configuration of three engines, diamond planform and no tail. Veteran aviation journalist and stealth expert BILL SWEET assesses what we know so far.

"We may have a problem on our hands"... (last line !!)

It is very satisfying to see people out there in shock around the globe and then some of them start in denial mode, arguing weather the plane qualified as true sixth gen or not and then further goes on to what is a true sixth generation fighter while our airforce planners seems to have strong determination of what they truly want before initiated this huge program.

We better not talking about what defines a sixth gen fighters... LOL
If we take the words from Yang Wei, who is the chief designer of J-20 and the boss of Chengdu's sixth gen fighter program, then accroding to an interview in 2023, Yang's definition of Sixth gen fighter including:
Can taking off and landing at airports like ordinary aircraft, and conducting high attitude or even sub-orbital operations;
Transform based on flight altitudes, cross-atmospheric combat;
Equipped with smart skin/surface, allowing the airframe to repair itself automatically;
It will be powered by a new generation engine for vastly expanded flight altitudes/machs missions;
Data-fusion and far far better info tech/AI comparing to 5th gen fighters.
Equiped with new mechanism radar, laser self-defence weapons, microwave weapons.
I suspect Chengdu's 6th gen fighter we saw, is like the commanding mothership, thus it is huge, has vast range, and aiming at high stealth, and may even flight at much higher alititutde so few can touch them, Chengdu's design may tend to leave the close combat/dogfights to unmanned wingmens.
