  • Update 2026-03-25 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator will use highly credible reporting (e.g., The Information) and signals like OpenAI employees posting potato emojis to identify which model is "Spud". The market is primarily intended to let people bet on a leaked codename, and may not necessarily close/resolve.

  • Update 2026-03-25 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Many or all of the sub-questions in this market may never resolve if sufficient evidence does not emerge to confirm which model is "Spud" or its properties.

some of these seem difficult to resolve.

for example, how will we know which release is Spud?

How will we know if it has a novel architecture?

@nostream those sound like problems for future AffineTyped

@nostream highly credible reporting such as The Information, OpenAI employees spamming potato emojis, etc

The goal isn't really necessarily for this to close but more to provide a market for people to bet on a leaked codename

The market also theoretically provides an incentive for insiders to leak proof that some model is spud

@AffineTyped it's very possible that many or all of these never resolve

@AffineTyped

"highly credible reporting such as...OpenAI employees spamming potato emojis" lol

@ChurlishGambit that is not what that comment says

It will be released by January 2027

yes

It uses a novel architecture

Novel as in not just like 4o or distilled 4.5, yes. Novel as in some major architectural breakthrough no.

open source

no

GPT 6

Maybe but probably not

It will have a modality beyond text, image, and video

idc

It will have a METR 50% of 20+ hours

obviously
