2 prediction markets price this story:
- Information Technology — the market puts it at 90%, closing 11 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if OpenAI is officially classified in the Information Technology sector. It resolves to No if that classification does not happen. Readers often mistake this for a prediction about OpenAI's actions rather than its corporate sector assignment.
- Will OpenAI have the best Text-to-Image AI at the end of November 2026? — the market puts it at 89%, with $8k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Dec 2026. The market resolves by checking the arena.ai Text-to-Image Leaderboard for models on November 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. The outcome is Yes if OpenAI owns the top-ranked model and No if another company does. Readers often mistake the deadline or ignore the rule that AutoEval models are excluded from the ranking.
