Claude Opus 5.6+: Output Token Price Debut?
Screened using the explicit question date; payout timing still follows the rules.
Contract resolution rules
Market resolves Yes if Anthropic's next Claude Opus 5.6+ model launches at $30+/million output tokens by June 30, 2027; otherwise No.
Conditions for a winning outcome
A model qualifies if its name or model identifier includes Opus and version is 5.6+ (regardless of capitalization or surrounding prefixes, suffixes, dates, or descriptors; including new whole-number generations such as Claude Opus 6). Debut price is the Base tokens output price for default global inference at the rate that does not trigger a long-context surcharge, announced by Anthropic or listed on its official API pricing page when first made available to the general public. Introductory prices count. If multiple qualifying models debut same day, highest price applies. Primary resolution source is official Anthropic information including its API pricing page, with additional verification from a consensus of credible reporting.
Exclusions and exceptions
Models without Opus in name or identifier, versions below 5.6 (including Opus 5.5 and any rollout, promotion, or snapshot of it), batch/fast mode/cached/US-only/data-residency prices, or no qualifying public debut by deadline all resolve No.
Timing & resolution
June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET (equivalent to 2027-07-01T03:59:00Z). No qualifying public debut by then resolves No.
Ambiguities in the rules
The term 'debut' is not explicitly defined as first public availability versus first announcement; it is unclear whether an announced-but-unreleased model counts. The source specifies the debut price as the 'Base tokens' output price but does not detail how this tier relates to other listed output tiers beyond excluding surcharge-triggering rates.

Event contracts and stock returns
A company’s share price, this event’s probability and the return on an event contract answer different questions. A correct company thesis can still miss a contract’s deadline or its exact conditions.
