OpenAI’s focus on advancing core large language models, ChatGPT enhancements, an anticipated IPO, and DevDay 2026 announcements has directed engineering resources away from social platform development, supporting the 94.5% market-implied probability of “No.” Earlier internal prototypes for image- or video-based feeds evolved into the short-lived Sora 2 app experiment, which launched in late 2025 but was discontinued by March 2026 over content moderation issues. Reports from January 2026 described only a small team exploring a biometric “humans-only” network using tools like World Orb or Face ID for proof-of-personhood, with no confirmed timeline, product specs, or public launch commitments. While a surprise integration into existing apps or accelerated rollout remains possible before year-end, the absence of recent verified progress or dedicated capacity makes a full social network release by December 31 unlikely under current priorities.

A social network refers to a platform or service developed by OpenAI that is primarily intended for users to create profiles or identities and publicly share, view, or interact with content or other users in a feed, network, or similar format.
Tools or features whose primary purpose is not to function as a social network, even if they allow limited user interaction, such as comments, reactions, or sharing, will not qualify unless they are clearly released and presented by OpenAI as a social network, social platform, or similar.
A qualifying social network must be 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 clearly defined and publicly announced by OpenAI as being accessible to the general public.
Social networks may qualify regardless of whether they are launched as a standalone platform or as social-network functionality integrated into another OpenAI product, provided that OpenAI clearly presents the product or feature as a social network or social platform, or similar.
Messaging or messenger-style applications solely designed for private one-to-one or small-group communication will not qualify for this market.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from OpenAI; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
