Will OpenAI announce the creation of AGI?
🗂 Part of event: When will OpenAI achieve AGI? →💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 7% chance — very unlikely.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 7% right now.
OpenAI's rapid model releases and public AGI principles suggest progress, but the market heavily discounts a formal AGI announcement by year-end, likely because recent actions (e.g., the death of the Microsoft agreement) indicate a cautious, incremental approach rather than a definitive breakthrough.
What's driving it
- • The death of the Microsoft-OpenAI AGI agreement (The Verge, Apr 27) removed a key structural milestone that would have forced a definition of AGI, increasing uncertainty around any potential announcement.
- • OpenAI's publication of five principles for its AGI push (Forbes, Apr 27) signals a deliberate, framework-driven approach rather than an imminent declaration.
- • The release of GPT-5.6 (OpenAI, Jul 9) and speculation about GPT-6 (The Cryptonomist, Jul 22) indicate continuous improvement, but no single model has been labeled AGI, reinforcing the No side.
The case for YES
- • OpenAI's stated commitment to AGI, as evidenced by its published principles, suggests the company is actively working toward a formal announcement, potentially within the year.
- • The rapid succession of model releases (GPT-5.6, speculation of GPT-6) implies capabilities are advancing quickly, possibly crossing a threshold OpenAI would consider AGI.
- • The report of 10,000 predictions analyzed (AIMultiple, May 22) might indicate that some experts see a non-trivial chance of an AGI announcement soon, lending credibility to the Yes side.
The case for NO
- • The termination of the Microsoft-OpenAI AGI agreement (The Verge, Apr 27) suggests that the companies no longer have a clear contractual trigger for an AGI announcement, reducing the likelihood of one this year.
- • OpenAI's public principles (Forbes, Apr 27) focus on safety and deliberation, implying that any AGI declaration would be cautious and not rushed to meet a deadline.
- • Despite launching new products like Sora (Reuters, Mar 24) and upgrading models, OpenAI has not labeled any of them as AGI, indicating a high bar for the term.
What to watch
- • A future OpenAI event or keynote (e.g., DevDay in late 2026) could feature a major announcement; if they reveal a model with general reasoning, odds could spike toward Yes.
- • Any regulatory or governmental report on AI progress that sets a benchmark for AGI could move odds; a negative report would push odds toward No.
- • If a competitor (e.g., DeepMind) claims AGI first, that might pressure OpenAI to respond, potentially increasing Yes odds.

How Much Will Discord Be Worth on Day 1?
The field is highly fragmented with three roughly equal candidates, but the most notable recent shift is the emergence of a 'Less than $20B' option at 40%, likely reflecting skepticism about Discord's ability to command a premium valuation after a travel-focused article (Mshale, Jul 12) highlighted a service outage, undermining confidence in its reliability and growth narrative.

When will Starship flight 14 happen?
The field is extremely front-loaded: the top candidate (before 2027-04-01) commands 95% odds, and all ten candidates above 5% stack into the next nine months, reflecting a market consensus that Flight 14 is imminent but not immediate. The largest recent shift is the collapse of near-term dates after the July 17 abort, when the 'before 2026-10-01' candidate dropped from ~80% to 71% following a second launch abort.

Apple Announces AI Glasses by September 30, 2026
The field is moderately concentrated with the 'No' side leading at 62%, but the 45% sum for two candidates indicates significant overlap or mispricing; the biggest recent shift is Meta's June 23 launch of $299 smart glasses (Forbes, Jun 23), which likely boosted the 'No' side by making Apple's entry seem less urgent or unique.

Will Anthropic release its next Mythos-class model to the public by August 31, 2026?
Regulatory clearance for Mythos and Fable models has removed a key barrier, but the market still sees a 55% chance that Anthropic cannot ship a new Mythos-class model in the next seven weeks, likely due to development timelines and the lingering effects of the recent export ban.
Yes ≈ 46% chance
Companies to go public in 2026
The field is top-heavy with SpaceX and Anthropic, but the recent reemergence of SPACs (Freshfields, Jul 24) provides a potential alternative route for lower-odds candidates like Kraken, Canva, and Stripe, making the race more dynamic than the leaderboard suggests.

Which of these Language Models will beat me at chess?
The field is extremely concentrated on 'any model announced before 2034' at 88%, but the long tail of 22 candidates above 5% suggests bettors see many plausible paths to a 1900-rated human being beaten by a future LLM, with the single biggest recent shift being the 2025-08-15 Business Insider report that OpenAI's o3 swept a chess tournament against xAI's Grok 4, likely boosting confidence in near-term AI chess ability.
