This market will resolve to "Yes" if the next model released by OpenAI has at least the specified score on the Arena.AI Leaderboard (arena.ai/leaderboard/text) when the table under the "Leaderboard" tab is checked on the date after the day of the release, 12:00 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Results from the "Score" column under the "Text Arena | Overall" Leaderboard tab at https://lmarena.ai/leaderboard/text with style control off will be used to resolve this market. If no qualifying score for the specified model is available on the Arena.AI Leaderboard at 12:00 PM ET following the date of the release, this market will resolve based on the first subsequent instance at which such a score becomes available on the leaderboard. If no qualifying score becomes available by the end of the seventh day following the day of the model’s release, or if no qualifying model release occurs by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No". If multiple variants of the specified model appear on the Arena.AI Leaderboard at the relevant check time (e.g., base, “Thinking,” or “Instant”), the highest-scoring variant will be used for resolution. A qualifying model must be launched and publicly accessible, including via open beta or open rolling waitlist signups. A closed beta or any form of private access will not suffice. The release must be either clearly defined and publicly announced as being accessible to the general public or otherwise made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled within the company’s official website. Labeling errors, placeholder text, or version names displayed on the website that do not correspond to a model that is actually accessible to the general public will not qualify. The resolution source for this market is the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard found at arena.ai/leaderboard/text. If this resolution source is unavailable at 12:00 PM ET following the date of the release, this market will resolve based on the first subsequent instance at which such a score becomes available on the leaderboard. If it remains unavailable through the end of the seventh day after a qualifying release, it will resolve to "No".OpenAI's rapid iteration on frontier large language models, exemplified by the April 23, 2026, release of GPT-5.5 optimized for agentic workflows and long-context reasoning (91.7% AUC at 128k tokens), reinforces trader consensus that its successor will debut strongly on the Arena.ai leaderboard (formerly LMSYS Chatbot Arena). This reflects OpenAI's established practice of anonymously testing models via blind user votes to validate capabilities before full rollout, as seen with GPT-5.4's March appearance. Amid tight competition from Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 (current text leader at ~1504 Elo) and Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro, traders price high implied probabilities for a >=1480 Elo debut while tempering expectations for 1500+ due to leaderboard lag and evolving benchmarks. Watch for May announcements or leaderboard shifts by June 30 resolution.
