3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Nvidia — the market puts it at 5%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Nvidia releases an AI model ranked number one before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the ranking source or assume any top-tier model counts instead of strictly #1.
  • Will Nvidia have the best AI model at the end of September 2026? — resolved “No” on 30 Sept 2026. The market resolves by checking the arena.ai Text Arena leaderboard on September 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. The outcome is Yes if Nvidia owns the model with the highest rank at that specific time and source; otherwise, it is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Musk for the resolution criteria, but only the official leaderboard data matters.
  • Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 18%, with $314 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump explicitly calls for or endorses a global pause, pacing, or slowdown in frontier AI development before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if he does not make such a statement by that date. Readers often mistake general criticism of AI or unrelated remarks about 'super intelligence' for the required explicit endorsement of a developmental pause.

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.
