The market resolves by checking the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard on December 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET to see which company owns the model with the highest rank. If ranks are tied, the system uses the precise arena score and then alphabetical order of company names as tiebreakers.

The market resolves to Yes if Meta's public market capitalization falls between $2.00 trillion and $2.25 trillion at the close of regular trading on the final trading day of October 2026. It resolves to No if the value is outside that range or if Meta ceases to exist as an independent entity before that date.
• Before Nov 2026 — the market puts it at 10%, with $1 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if any member of Trump's Cabinet leaves their current role or announces they will leave before November 1, 2026. It resolves to No if no such departure or announcement occurs by that date. Readers often mistake the linked headline about a 2027 departure as relevant, but only events happening before the November 2026 deadline count.
