This market resolves YES if, in November 2026, at least 2 of {OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind}'s mobile app lets the user close the app while the model is reasoning about an answer, and when the user later reopens the app, the model has continued/completed reasoning.

Alternatively, if 2 or more of these 3 frontier labs require the mobile app user to keep the app open while the model is reasoning about an answer, or else it won't complete, then this market resolves NO.

Would anyone be willing to check the current behaviour of the frontier models+apps wrt this?

@Bayesian Gemini definitely dies (sometimes), ChatGPT seems to work. Note that this is annoying and non deterministic if it's about backgrounding but not closing

@AshDorsey ChatGPT works even when you close it, so that works for sure.

@AshDorsey Claude also appears to work, but I don't have pro to test out thinking properly

bought Ṁ200 YES

@Bayesian Replicating results from @AshDorsey - ChatGPT works, Gemini doesn't work on closing but sometimes does on backgrounding, can't test Claude.
