One prediction market prices this story:

  • Before 2027 — the market puts it at 15%, with $11 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if OpenAI raises the price of ChatGPT Pro or Plus between December 19, 2024, and January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if no such price increase occurs within that window. Readers often mistake the start date, which is fixed at December 19, 2024, rather than an earlier announcement or rumor.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
