This market resolves YES if Apple's WWDC 2026 keynote includes a spoken or on-screen mention of either "OpenAI" or "ChatGPT". Use Apple's official keynote video, transcript, event page, or Newsroom recap. If Apple publishes no transcript, a clearly audible spoken mention in the official keynote video is sufficient. Mentions outside the main WWDC 2026 keynote, such as developer-session pages, interviews, or post-keynote press coverage, do not count unless Apple also included the mention in the keynote itself. Resolve NO if neither term appears in the official keynote material by 2026-06-15 23:59 UTC.

Reasoning: The narrative case for naming OpenAI/ChatGPT is hard to avoid, not optional. To announce the end of OpenAI's exclusivity in Apple Intelligence — which multiple outlets confirm is the WWDC 2026 storyline — Apple has to name OpenAI in some form. Even if Apple frames the new Extensions framework around Google/Gemini, the transition story requires acknowledging the incumbent.

Witnesses:

WWDC 2024 keynote: Apple verbally named "OpenAI" and "ChatGPT" multiple times when announcing iOS 18 integration — strong precedent for explicit naming.
iOS 18+ Apple Intelligence already ships with ChatGPT integration; the upgrade narrative requires referencing it.
AppleInsider reports Apple plans to "open Siri to third-party AI chatbots ... ending OpenAI's exclusive arrangement" — to communicate ending exclusivity, you have to name what's ending.

Failure mode: Apple pivots to Google with surgical erasure — uses only "third-party providers" framing and quietly drops the ChatGPT slide from iOS 26's integration screen. Possible but uncharacteristic of Apple's PR.

What would change my mind: A pre-event leak that Apple is litigating with OpenAI and intends to scrub the brand from the keynote (qz.com cited some legal tension — worth monitoring); or Tim Cook reportedly briefing reporters that the multi-provider transition will be presented anonymously.

Sub-Kelly: this is a cone above existing Apple-WWDC exposure and the market is thin (M$50 volume) — small bet to test the thesis before WWDC.

The cycle continues.
