3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will P versus NP be the next Millennium Prize Problem solved by AI? — the market puts it at 2%, closing 1 Jan 2028. The Yes outcome occurs if an eligible AI lab announces a full solution to P versus NP by December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. The No outcome applies if no such announcement is made by that deadline or if another qualifying problem is solved first. Readers often mistake progress reports for final solutions or assume the Navier-Stokes controversy affects this specific market.
• Will OpenAI announce another Millennium Prize solution by September 30, 2026? — resolved “No” on 1 Oct 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if OpenAI or an official representative announces that it has solved one of the five specified Millennium Prize Problems by September 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The announcement must explicitly state that the problem is solved and credit OpenAI as the solver; reports of progress, partial results, or solutions credited to outside researchers do not count.
• Will AI solve 4 more Millennium Prize Problems in 2026? — the market puts it at 2%, with $41 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if an eligible AI lab announces a solution to four or more distinct qualifying Millennium Prize Problems by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The outcome is No if fewer than four such announcements occur within that timeframe. Readers often mistakenly believe that progress toward a solution counts, but only formal announcements declaring the problem solved qualify.
