76% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2027-01-30.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 88% — The Colorado AG has finalized drafts with two months remaining before the statutory deadline, leaving little push for legislative delay. Colorado SB 24-205 set an effective date of February 1, 2026, already pushed by rulemaking cycles, cementing January 2027 as firm. Rulemakings post-comment period typically proceed directly into filing within 60 days unless major litigation yields an injunction. A formal stay from a federal court challenge is the main risk, but standard base rate for state tech rule stays is under 15%.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 62% — Hinges on whether Colorado's AG/CPD finalizes rules and legislature doesn't again delay the AI Act's effective date. Colorado's AI Act effective date has already been pushed back once (from Feb 2026 to June 2026 to now 2027), showing a pattern of delay. Rulemaking comment period just closed in Oct 2026, leaving a tight window to finalize before Jan 1 2027, which raises execution risk. Strong business lobbying pressure and multi-state coordination efforts could prompt another last-minute legislative delay similar to prior postponements.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 74% — The key issue is whether Colorado completes rulemaking on schedule rather than delaying or revising the January effective date. Colorado agencies must review October comments, adopt final text, and complete filing before the January 1 statutory start. Rules commonly slip after substantial comments, but a fixed statutory launch gives regulators a strong incentive to meet the deadline. A court challenge, major industry objections, or legislative postponement before December would materially lower the odds.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 78% — AG must issue final ADM/chatbot rules by mid-December after Oct comments. Colorado APA plus 20-day publication typically requires adoption by ~15 Dec for a 1 Jan effective date. Agencies hit statutory rule dates ~80% of the time when comments close on schedule; two months is tight but feasible. A legislative freeze or extra comment round would be the clearest delay signal; none exists as of 1 Nov.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 82% — Whether the Colorado AG finalizes the rules on schedule after the October 2026 comment period, with no further legislative delay. Colorado's SB 24-205 set a June 30, 2026 effective date, but the legislature delayed it to January 1, 2027 via HB 25B-1003 in August 2025. The Attorney General's office must adopt final rules after the October 2026 comment period; the statutory deadline for adoption is January 1, 2027, and agencies rarely… The main risk is litigation or a further delay bill in the 2027 session, but the 2026 election and the reset already absorbed the political pressure that killed the…

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 74% — Turns on whether Colorado AG finalizes rules in ~2 months and no last-minute legislative or executive delay intervenes. Comment period closed October 2026; finalizing rules by Jan 1 is tight but standard for Colorado APA rulemaking timelines. Gov. Polis has twice signaled skepticism (signing statement 2024, SB 25-012 delay), creating real risk of another postponement via executive or legislative action. Base rate for statutory effective dates being met when rulemaking is in final stages is high (~85%), but this law's political controversy pulls it below that.
