This market will resolve to "Yes" if OpenAI's next GPT Image model (2.1+) is made available to the general public between market creation and the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying model must have a name or model identifier that includes "GPT Image" and be designated as version 2.1 or higher, regardless of capitalization, hyphenation, spacing, or surrounding prefixes, suffixes, dates, or descriptors. For example, a version 2.1 or higher named in the same manner as GPT Image 1.5 or GPT Image 2 would qualify, including a new whole-number generation such as GPT Image 3, while models whose name does not include "GPT Image" or which retain a version designation of 2 or below, such as GPT Image 2, GPT Image 2 mini, or DALL-E 3, will not qualify. Size, speed, or cost variants of any existing version, such as mini or turbo variants, and application or product version launches without a new qualifying underlying model, such as a "ChatGPT Images 3.0" product update, will not qualify. A qualifying model must be launched and 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 either be clearly defined and publicly announced by OpenAI as accessible to the general public, or otherwise be made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled on the company's official website. Labeling errors, placeholder text, or version names displayed on the website that do not correspond to a model that is actually accessible to the general public will not qualify. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from OpenAI, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.OpenAI’s April 2026 launch of GPT Image 2 (gpt-image-2), featuring native reasoning, improved text rendering, and multi-image consistency, marked the latest major step after GPT Image 1.5 in December 2025. This replaced the DALL-E lineage, with DALL-E 2/3 fully retired from the API by May and the final DALL-E GPT set to sunset August 30. No GPT Image 2.1 or higher has been announced or leaked through late August 2026, amid ongoing integration with GPT-5.x models and competition from Google’s Gemini on leaderboards. Traders monitor OpenAI’s typical release cadence, upcoming GPT updates, and any API or ChatGPT feature flags that could signal the next iteration.
