Key insight
Why the views differ
The most important question on this page: not just what each side thinks, but why they disagree.
AI models place more weight on
- How fast leading AI labs are shipping new models
- The race between OpenAI, Google, and others
- Reports of massive AI training projects and new data centers
The market appears more focused on
- Confusion over what even counts as 'GPT-6'
- Safety checks and government approval taking longer
- The possibility it's just a small update, not a big leap
Model-by-model
AI Model Breakdown
Average 68% across six models. Spread of 8 points (64%–72%) — a wide spread, signalling more uncertainty.
Notes a rapid release cadence but is non-committal on exact naming and timing. Its 66% estimate sits 12 points above the market's 54%, leaning on how fast leading ai labs are shipping new models while keeping an eye on confusion over what even counts as 'gpt-6'.
Treats a major frontier release as likely while distinguishing a point-release from a true GPT-6. Its 64% estimate sits 10 points above the market's 54%, leaning on how fast leading ai labs are shipping new models while keeping an eye on confusion over what even counts as 'gpt-6'.
Expects continued competitive pressure to accelerate frontier launches. Its 70% estimate sits 16 points above the market's 54%, leaning on how fast leading ai labs are shipping new models while keeping an eye on confusion over what even counts as 'gpt-6'.
Cites reporting on training runs and compute build-out as supportive. Its 69% estimate sits 15 points above the market's 54%, leaning on how fast leading ai labs are shipping new models while keeping an eye on confusion over what even counts as 'gpt-6'.
Most bullish on an aggressive release timeline. Its 72% estimate sits 18 points above the market's 54%, leaning on how fast leading ai labs are shipping new models while keeping an eye on confusion over what even counts as 'gpt-6'.
Sees a release as probable but flags branding ambiguity. Its 67% estimate sits 13 points above the market's 54%, leaning on how fast leading ai labs are shipping new models while keeping an eye on confusion over what even counts as 'gpt-6'.
