ChatGPT 1B WAU — officially confirmed by year-end, locked at 78%.

78% probability OpenAI officially confirms ChatGPT reached 1B weekly active users on or before Dec 31 2026. WAU was officially 900M as of Feb 27 2026; 1B requires ~+11% in ~10 months. The risk is disclosure timing — the milestone may be reached but unannounced before year-end.

— 1 · The Locked Call

OpenAI officially confirms 1B ChatGPT WAU by Dec 31 2026 — P = 0.78.

We lock a binary claim: OpenAI officially confirms (via blog post, keynote, or named executive statement) that ChatGPT reached ≥1,000,000,000 weekly active users on or before December 31 2026. Confidence 78%. Third-party estimates do not count — this is scored against an official OpenAI disclosure.

— 2 · Why it's nail-able

900M officially confirmed Feb 2026; 1B likely reached but disclosure timing is the risk.

OpenAI / Sam Altman officially confirmed 900M ChatGPT WAU on February 27 2026 (TechCrunch / Reuters). Reaching 1B requires ~+11% over ~10 months — a growth rate consistent with recent ChatGPT trajectory, and likely achieved well before year-end. The residual ~22% uncertainty is not about the user count but about whether OpenAI makes a public official disclosure of the milestone before December 31. OpenAI has been selective about timing such announcements. Resolves against an official OpenAI blog post, Sam Altman statement, or equivalent named executive disclosure corroborated by Reuters on or before Dec 31 2026.

Locked on 2026-06-21 — scored against official OpenAI / Altman confirmation of ≥1B ChatGPT WAU by Dec 31 2026.
