This market will resolve to “Yes” if OpenAI launches a social network by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A social network refers to a platform or service developed by OpenAI that is primarily intended for users to create profiles or identities and publicly share, view, or interact with content or other users in a feed, network, or similar format. Tools or features whose primary purpose is not to function as a social network, even if they allow limited user interaction, such as comments, reactions, or sharing, will not qualify unless they are clearly released and presented by OpenAI as a social network, social platform, or similar. A qualifying social network must be publicly accessible, including via open beta or open rolling waitlist signups. A closed beta or any form of private access will not suffice. The release must be clearly defined and publicly announced by OpenAI as being accessible to the general public. Social networks may qualify regardless of whether they are launched as a standalone platform or as social-network functionality integrated into another OpenAI product, provided that OpenAI clearly presents the product or feature as a social network or social platform, or similar. Messaging or messenger-style applications solely designed for private one-to-one or small-group communication will not qualify for this market. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from OpenAI; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.OpenAI’s prioritization of core large language model development and ChatGPT enhancements explains the 79% market-implied probability against a 2026 social network launch. Reports from early 2025 described only an internal prototype social feed tied to image generation, while the September 2025 Sora 2 app experiment—a TikTok-style feed for AI video clips—was discontinued by March 2026 amid content and moderation challenges. With resources now directed toward an anticipated IPO, DevDay 2026 announcements, and competitive AI model releases, traders see limited momentum or bandwidth for a full standalone platform rollout by year-end despite OpenAI’s large user base.
