The prediction market on whether the next OpenAI model will debut at a score of at least 1470 saw a dramatic shift as the YES contract price dropped 70.9 percentage points in 24 hours, falling from 81.5% to 10.6% on July 10, 2026. This sharp repricing signals a significant loss of confidence in that outcome among the general market.
Interestingly, this price collapse diverged sharply from whale trading activity, which moved counter to the price trend. Over the same 24-hour period, 22 unique whales bought $3K worth of YES contracts and sold only $787, resulting in a net whale inflow of $3K into YES positions. This divergence suggests that large traders are positioning differently from the broader market sentiment reflected in the price drop.
The total 24-hour trading volume on Polymarket for this market was $5K, with lifetime volume reaching $52K and 265 unique traders having participated. Notably, the on-chain Polydata YES price midpoint remained at 81.2%, close to the pre-drop level and contrasting starkly with the Polymarket Breaking feed price of 10.6%, highlighting a discrepancy between data sources.
The conflicting signals between price and whale behavior underscore a complex dynamic in market expectations for the OpenAI model’s performance.
