Bracket families

3 clusters across 8 contracts.

These contracts were grouped by title similarity. The headline aggregate combines all clusters; verify the cluster you actually need before quoting a number.

Heads-up — heterogeneous clusters

The top two clusters share only 30% of their title tokens — “Best AI on Dec 31, 2026” vs “Which AI company will have the best coding model on Dec 31, 2026”. The headline aggregate weights both, so the number on this page is meaningful only if the clusters resolve to the same question.

Analysis

This probability reflects market expectations about which AI company will have the best-performing model by December 31, 2026. The 30% price for ChatGPT contrasts with Claude's 62¢, suggesting traders believe Claude is the frontrunner based on recent benchmark performance and capability assessments. Market movements depend on concrete model releases, published benchmarks, and real-world capability demonstrations over the next five months. The resolution will likely depend on standardized evaluation metrics, head-to-head testing results, and consensus among AI researchers about which system achieves the strongest performance across reasoning, coding, and instruction-following tasks.

  • Claude's market price of 62¢ versus ChatGPT's 14¢ reflects trader assessment of recent model versions and their performance on standard benchmarks through mid-2026
  • New major model releases or significant capability improvements announced between July and December 2026 would directly move probabilities, as traders reassess relative performance
  • The resolution criteria must specify how 'best' will be measured—whether by published benchmark scores, evaluator consensus, or specific capability demonstrations
  • Trading volume varies substantially across contracts ($7,167 for ChatGPT versus $1,342 for Grok), suggesting liquidity disparities may amplify or dampen price movements
  • Historical precedent shows AI capability rankings shift rapidly when new versions release, making the December deadline potentially volatile for repricing

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
