OpenAI's scaled infrastructure on Microsoft Azure underpins the 94.5% market-implied probability of no full ChatGPT outage by March 31, reflecting trader confidence in the platform's uptime exceeding 99.9% in recent months per official status logs. Recent partial disruptions, like brief slowdowns in February tied to high traffic from GPT-4o updates, were resolved within hours via rapid failover systems, demonstrating robust redundancy and monitoring. No verified full outages—defined as complete unavailability across all endpoints—have occurred since mid-2023, bolstered by capacity expansions amid surging demand. Realistic challenges include a sophisticated cyberattack exploiting API vulnerabilities or an overload from unannounced model launches, though OpenAI's security investments and historical resilience temper these risks.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if OpenAI's ChatGPT experiences any incident classified as 'Full Outage' as of the time it is marked as “Resolved” by the listed date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
Only incidents listing ChatGPT under 'Affected components' will be considered. Incidents labeled as affecting 'APIs,' or 'Sora,' but not ChatGPT, will have no bearing on the resolution of this market.
Classifications of an incident while it is ongoing will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. Only classifications of events that are resolved will be considered.
Qualifying incidents include outages and other issues classified as 'Full Outage' when they are resolved, during this market's above-specified timeframe.
An incident resolved outside this market’s timeframe will only qualify if ongoing at this market’s resolution time, in which case the market will remain open until that incident is marked as “Resolved,” and resolution will be based on the first impact classification thereafter, regardless of subsequent revisions or corrections.
Revisions that upgrade an incident’s impact classification to 'Full Outage' will qualify if the incident was resolved and the revision is published within this market’s timeframe.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official system status information published by OpenAI on status.openai.com; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
