3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will OpenAI have a #1 AI model by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 18%, with $1k 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 — the market puts it at 15%, with $533 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if OpenAI holds the number one spot on LiveBench.ai's Coding Average ranking on December 31, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the date of the linked news story for the resolution deadline.
  • Will OpenAI have the best AI model at the end of November 2026? — the market puts it at 2%, with $5k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if OpenAI owns the model with the highest rank on the arena.ai Text Arena leaderboard at noon ET on November 30, 2026. The resolution relies strictly on the official leaderboard data from that specific source and time, ignoring any models marked as AutoEval. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of the month or assume other ranking systems determine the winner.
