Predicted for 31. August 2026

Based on: Speculative
The existing open prediction covers GPT-5 (chat model, release by December 2026). OpenAI separately maintains an 'o-series' for reasoning models: o1 released late 2024, o3 early 2025 — an iteration cadence of ~6–9 months. Competitive pressure is mounting: xAI Grok 5 (by August 31, open prediction) and Meta Llama-4 Behemoth (by August 31, open prediction) force OpenAI to update its reasoning lineup. An o4 model by August 2026 fits this cadence. Risk: OpenAI may integrate o4 reasoning as a 'GPT-5 Reasoning Mode' without separate branding, causing the prediction to miss on a technicality.
Data basis for this prediction
- OpenAI o1 (Dez. 2024), o3 (Jan. 2025) – Iterationskadenz ~6–9 Monate (openai.com)
- xAI Grok 5 bis 31. August 2026 (offene Vorhersage, Cassandra.news)
- Meta Llama-4 Behemoth bis 31. August 2026 (offene Vorhersage, Cassandra.news)
Verdict: Miss
[Vorzeitig entschieden] Kein eigenständiges Flaggschiff-Reasoning-Modell der o4- oder o5-Generation über die API veröffentlicht. OpenAI hat das Reasoning in GPT-5 integriert; o3/o3-pro existieren, aber o4 (non-mini) oder o5 wurden nicht als eigenständige Flaggschiff-Modelle lanciert.

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.
