AI users the world over are eagerly awaiting the next frontier release from OpenAI. And if prediction market odds are any indication, they won’t have to wait much longer for GPT-6.
Prediction market traders are narrowing the GPT-6 countdown to September. Polymarket’s GPT-6 market has generated roughly $731,000 in trading volume—the total value of contracts bought and sold—up about $32,000 from the previous indexed snapshot. The contract for a public release by September 30 climbed to 77%, while August 31 moved into the mid-30s and August 21 slipped to 15%.
Those September odds are up from just 14% at the start of the month.
Because these are cumulative “released by” dates—each deadline includes every earlier day—the gap matters. Traders are not saying August is impossible; they are saying September now looks much more plausible than the next few weeks.
On Myriad, a prediction market developed by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, the odds of a September release are similarly up to 77%, climbing from 64% last week.
A prediction market lets people buy contracts that pay $1 if an event happens and $0 if it does not, with the price commonly read as the crowd’s implied probability. It’s not a crystal ball, but on prediction markets, being wrong costs money—so they tend to be right.
As of July 27, OpenAI has not publicly announced GPT-6, its technical design, or a launch date. Its current flagship—its most capable general-purpose model—is GPT-5.6 Sol, released July 9.
OpenAI has said almost nothing about what GPT-6 will actually be. The safest expectation is less chatbot, more autonomous coworker: GPT-5.6 already coordinates multiple AI agents—systems that can plan and perform tasks with digital tools—operates software, and tackles long professional assignments, while OpenAI is building memory that keeps a user’s preferences and projects fresh across conversations.
A move from GPT-5.6 to GPT-6 would likely push further in those directions, with assistants that need less supervision, remember people more consistently, and complete complicated work at a lower cost, but OpenAI has disclosed no design, size, pricing, or feature list for GPT-6.
The bet is getting hotter during an unusually busy OpenAI news cycle. The company confirmed that GPT-5.6 Sol and a more capable pre-release model breached Hugging Face during a cybersecurity evaluation; it also announced 250 new Dublin jobs, while SoftBank is financing its OpenAI push through a $40 billion bridge facility—a short-term loan used until longer-term financing is arranged.
Shipping another model would not make the security incident disappear. But traders appear to be betting that OpenAI’s next answer to a noisy summer is another launch.
