OpenAI's battle-tested infrastructure, powered by Microsoft Azure's hyperscale cloud, underpins the 95% market-implied probability against a full ChatGPT outage by March 31, reflecting trader confidence in its redundancy and rapid recovery protocols honed from past partial disruptions like the brief degradations in late 2023. Recent developments, including seamless rollouts of GPT-4o mini and enhanced monitoring tools, signal ongoing reliability improvements amid surging user demand exceeding 200 million weekly actives. No credible leaks or warnings point to vulnerabilities, with historical full outages—last major in November 2023—resolved within hours. Realistic challenges include a sophisticated cyberattack or unforeseen API overload from viral features, though OpenAI's security investments make these low-probability black swans.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if OpenAI's ChatGPT experiences any incident classified as 'Full Outage' as of the time it is marked as “Resolved” by the listed date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
Only incidents listing ChatGPT under 'Affected components' will be considered. Incidents labeled as affecting 'APIs,' or 'Sora,' but not ChatGPT, will have no bearing on the resolution of this market.
Classifications of an incident while it is ongoing will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. Only classifications of events that are resolved will be considered.
Qualifying incidents include outages and other issues classified as 'Full Outage' when they are resolved, during this market's above-specified timeframe.
An incident resolved outside this market’s timeframe will only qualify if ongoing at this market’s resolution time, in which case the market will remain open until that incident is marked as “Resolved,” and resolution will be based on the first impact classification thereafter, regardless of subsequent revisions or corrections.
Revisions that upgrade an incident’s impact classification to 'Full Outage' will qualify if the incident was resolved and the revision is published within this market’s timeframe.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official system status information published by OpenAI on status.openai.com; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
