Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects low implied probability for a ChatGPT outage by year-end, driven by OpenAI's recent infrastructure upgrades on Microsoft Azure, which resolved a brief global disruption in early December 2024 within hours. Historical outages during peak loads or model rollouts—like the June 2024 GPT-4o launch hiccups—fuel lingering caution, but enhanced redundancy has stabilized service amid surging demand. Competitive dynamics sharpen focus: rivals Claude and Gemini tout superior uptime, pressuring OpenAI to prioritize reliability. Traders should monitor holiday traffic surges and the January 2025 OpenAI DevDay for potential strain, as any downtime could swing market odds sharply.

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 'Partial/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 'Partial/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.
