Why do you think you're right?

I'm anchoring to the current situation and from there updating on the plausible future developments (e.g. a peace being signed with Ukraine largely retaining its territory, yet losing resources).
Under the possible options, a fluctuation back into the 30-39% range is more plausible than a drop to under 19

Why might you be wrong?

I didn't spend enough time researching

Why do you think you're right?

No enough time till May 31st; I do expect it to become the most valuable by the end of the year, however

Why might you be wrong?

An insanely capable reasoning model is released, making it painstakingly clear to everybody that the world needs more compute

Why do you think you're right?

I've gotten better acquainted with the DeepSeek R1 paper since my previous forecast

Files
Why might you be wrong?
My previous reason for potentially being wrong stands: reasoning abilities do not transform to high scores on the ChatBot Arena, yet I am fairly confident they will in this case

made a comment:

I had similar concerns about reasoning models; but it would seem that the first one to enter the Arena (Genini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental) topped the LB immediately with a high score of 1380.

Now o3-mini is expected to be released in "~a couple of weeks" (from Jan 17): https://x.com/sama/status/1880356297985638649

Why do you think you're right?

DeepSeek R1 is terrifying(ly good)

It's subtle but it matters: "on", not "in". I've tested this question on scores and scores of people over the years and easily >95% have no idea of what happened there. All they have in mind is tanks on the square crushing innocent student protestors. Virtually no one is aware of the amazingly violent cops- and soldiers-killing riots that happened a day before and continued on that day.
