3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will OpenAI announce another Millennium Prize solution by December 31, 2027? — the market puts it at 66%, with $15k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. 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 December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. The announcement must explicitly state that the problem is solved and credit OpenAI as a solver; partial results or announcements crediting only external researchers do not count.
• Will OpenAI have a #1 AI model by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 11%, with $91 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if OpenAI holds the top spot on the Chatbot Arena Text Leaderboard by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. A tie for first place counts as a win. Readers often mistake the deadline for midnight UTC or assume any general AI ranking qualifies instead of the specific Chatbot Arena leaderboard.
• OpenAI announces it has achieved AGI before 2027? — the market puts it at 16%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if OpenAI or an official representative announces the creation of artificial general intelligence by December 31, 2026 ET. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the announcement date for the completion date of the technology.
