[This is Casey's medium-confidence prediction from the 12/22/23 episode of Hard Fork]
This market will resolve to yes if Google's Gemini Ultra or other state-of-the-art LLM is roughly equivalent to OpenAI's best publicly available LLM on December 31, 2024, and if Google's AI products have cut into ChatGPT's share of the consumer LLM chatbot market. Otherwise, it will resolve to no.
If openai do not submit o1 pro to leaderboards themselves, we’ll have to compare by published benchmark performance like on MATH etc., right? Because o1 and o1 pro won’t have api access by Jan 1
@figo performance is even but "and if Google's AI products have cut into ChatGPT's share of the consumer LLM chatbot market." could go either way
@IsaacLiu how could that go either way? Gemini has dropped from 16 to 13 yoy, seems pretty hard to imagine a recovery now
Gemini market share is falling, this is a sure no

@JasonDavies Hard to tell about how to compare given Google doesn't have something like o1?
I mean, obviously that's not the top of the raw leaderboard here, but it does seem to be a potential significant lead for OpenAI in an approach the might lead to future scaling?
Does this resolution go by Hard Fork's own decision?
If instead judged by @KevinRoose18ac, is this strictly about chatbots, or LLM's in general? For example, you could see Gemini being ~natively present in lots of Android phones, putting them at roughly equal footing with OpenAI's iOS play. But when it comes to chatbots, as in visiting chatGPT.com, I think OpenAI wins by a landslide.
At this point, OpenAI's best model on the LMSYS leaderboard beats Google's best model 50.66% of the time; pretty close to a coinflip. Along with Gemini traffic at ~25% of ChatGPT's traffic, it seems like if this resolved today, it would resolve YES.
Obviously, the market is actually about the state of things on December 31st, so that's not dispositive, but I wonder if 40% is the right place for this to be sitting right now?
@ChrisPrichard OpenAI has not released a major model (GPT-4.5 or GPT-5) in 2024, and they say that they will. Google has caught up to GPT-4, but can they beat whatever the new one is? My guess would be no.
