This market resolves on the date when GPT-4.1 becomes inaccessible, meaning none of the GPT-4.1 series models (nano, mini, "full," or any checkpoints) can be used by developers outside of OpenAI.
Example of events that will trigger a resolution.
All GPT-4.1 variants return "model not found" errors and OpenAI confirms removal
Last remaining checkpoint goes offline
Models removed from docs and confirmed inaccessible
GPT-4.1 merged into a unified model with automatic routing, not callable directlyOpenAI ceases to exist entirely with no successor entity, model becomes inaccessible
OpenAI acquired, new owner later removes GPT-4.1 → resolves then
Regional restrictions expand to global inaccessibility → resolves then
Temporary outage later confirmed as permanent removal → resolves then
Does not trigger a resolution
Temporary outage without official removal announcement
Price increase or rate limiting changes
Regional restrictions (some regions blocked, others accessible)
GPT-4.1 renamed but callable under new name and lineage is clear
GPT-4.1 moved to enterprise-only tier
GPT-4.1 accessible only via legacy endpoint
GPT-4.1 available on Azure OpenAI but not api.openai.com
GPT-4.1 open-sourced within 30 days of becoming unavailable otherwise
