Will GPT-Bidi-1 be released by July 17, 2026?

On June 16, 2026, rumors regarding OpenAI's next-generation audio model named GPT-Bidi-1 surfaced. You can read more about that here: https://www.testingcatalog.com/openai-prepares-major-chatgpt-voice-upgrade-with-gpt-bidi-1/. This market will resolve to "Yes" if OpenAI makes a qualifying GPT “Bidi” or “Bdi” next-generation audio/voice model for ChatGPT available to the general public by the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Any GPT model whose official name includes “Bidi” or “Bdi” will qualify. A differently named OpenAI voice/audio model may also qualify if a consensus of credible reporting identifies it as the rumored model referenced above. Other GPT releases 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 be either clearly defined and publicly announced by OpenAI as being accessible to the general public or otherwise made publicly accessible and explicitly labeled within 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; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
