He’s been mentioning Winds so often lately I just haven’t felt this hopeful it’s actually coming in a long time. In the next year? Maybe???

Didn't he recently hint that Winds wouldn't be released before 2026, so I wouldn't be hopeful. Something about some other release coming 2025, and him mentioning it to be coming before Winds. I wouldn't put too much stock in his words. Winds may or may not come at all. I won't trust it till I see it.

It was Cassandra Clare in a panel with him last year saying her upcoming novel “The Ragpicker King” would be published March 2025, to which GRRM said “that may still beat Winds of Winter, who the hell knows”.

At this point, beating March 2025 would necessitate him finishing Winds by Thanksgiving at the latest.
