Linux 7.3-rc1 is out, closing the two-week merge window with new hardware support and faster Btrfs, ahead of a release expected in the second half of October.

The promised Btrfs speedups and expanded hardware support are the headline changes, but the final release is still weeks away. Expect the usual stabilization phase before the stable kernel ships in late October.
