Predicted for 31. August 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Meta released Llama 3.1 with 405B parameters in July 2024 and plans Llama 4 as a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture with substantially larger capacity. Mark Zuckerberg stated in April 2026 that Meta would 'release the world's leading open AI model.' Internal Meta AI roadmap pointed to an H2 2026 release. Countervailing risks: EU AI Act regulatory scrutiny, safety-related delays. No direct Polymarket markets available; external AI analysts estimate ~35–42% probability of a release by end of August 2026.
Data basis for this prediction
- Meta Llama 3.1 405B Release: Juli 2024 (Meta AI Blog, 23.07.2024)
- Zuckerberg Ankündigung: 'führendes offenes KI-Modell' (Meta Q1-2026-Earnings-Call, Apr 2026)
- Meta AI Roadmap Llama 4 MoE, geplant H2 2026 (The Verge / Bloomberg AI, Mai 2026)

Verdict: Partial Hit
Meta veröffentlichte am 5. April 2025 Llama 4 Maverick mit ~400 Milliarden Gesamtparametern (MoE-Architektur, 128 Experten, aber nur 17 Mrd. aktive Parameter pro Forward-Pass) – technisch an der Grenze des Kriteriums 'mehr als 400 Mrd.', nicht eindeutig darüber. Das Modell ist öffentlich verfügbar (llama.com, Hugging Face) und damit vor der Frist vom 31. August 2026 erschienen. ABER: Das eigentlich erwartete große Modell Llama 4 Behemoth (~2 Billionen Parameter, klar über 400 Mrd.) wurde bis August 2026 NICHT öffentlich freigegeben – die Gewichte wurden intern als 'Teacher-Modell' genutzt, Metas Frontier-Arbeit verlagerte sich auf das geschlossene Muse Spark. Die Vorhersage traf damit halb zu: Ein Llama-4-Modell mit grob 400 Mrd. Gesamtparametern wurde vor der Frist veröffentlicht, aber der klare Schwellenwert 'mehr als 400 Mrd.' bei einem dichten Modell (analog Llama 3.1 405B) wurde nicht erfüllt.

Applied Materials has beaten the EPS consensus in all four of its last reported quarters, with an average earnings surprise of +3.5%. The company's own Q4 guidance is $3.82–$4.22 per share; consensus at $4.06 sits near the midpoint, reflecting classic conservative management framing. Revenue is estimated at $10.30B (+51% YoY) — TSMC and Samsung have not pulled back H2 2026 capex plans. No Polymarket market directly available; a 100% beat streak over 4 quarters with a positive guidance range implies 70–75% probability. Risk: supply chain delays or expanded US export controls on advanced chips could force a Q5 inventory build.

PLTR closed at $175.40 on November 4, 2026 (after-hours: $170.88, -2.58%; intraday high: $176.54; 52-week high: $212.94). Palantir clearly beat Q3-FY2026 EPS consensus: total revenue $2.313B, US Commercial revenue +148% YoY to $984M. The $185 threshold is +5.5% above the closing price or +8.3% above after-hours levels. Typical post-earnings 'sell the news' may weigh short-term, but the 52-week high of $212.94 confirms the level is reachable. NVIDIA earnings on November 18, 2026 could serve as a sector-wide catalyst. No direct Polymarket equivalent; own estimate: ~42%.

CBRS trades at $109.18 (October 30, 2026) — already 61% below its all-time high of $279.72. The final and largest lockup expiration is scheduled for November 10, 2026: approximately 19.4 million shares are unlocked (of three tranches of 19.4M each). Prior lockup tranches have consistently weighed on the stock. Insiders have sold ~$394.6M in shares since the May 2026 IPO — zero insider purchases. A Culper Research short-seller report has triggered multiple investigations. A close below $100 requires a ~8.4% decline — plausible given the expected supply pressure on expiration day.
