20% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2026-11-24.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 27% — Tehran and Washington rarely convert emergency Swiss de-escalation rounds into formalized deals within a one-month window. A formal bilateral accord requires sign-off from Khamenei and the US National Security Council, which typically takes months. Bilateral base rates for US-Iran conflict mediation yield informal de-escalations far more frequently than signed joint accords. A concrete public declaration would require immediate mutual sanctions relief, which Washington cannot assemble by November 24.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 12% — Hinges on whether US-Iran talks move past posturing to a signed deal before Nov 24, 2026. Decades of US-Iran diplomacy show deep mistrust and slow incremental steps, not quick formal accords. A one-month window is short for a binding joint announcement given sanctions, regional proxy conflicts, and domestic political constraints on both sides. Watch for a US or Iranian official explicitly confirming a signed framework; absent that, talks likely stay exploratory.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 57% — The key hinge is whether Gulf escalation creates enough urgency for Tehran and Washington to trade limited terms within 30 days. The US and Iranian governments must authorize terms and issue a joint or official bilateral announcement before 24 November. Ceasefire diplomacy can move in days during active fighting, but durable US-Iran accords usually require months and intermediary clearance. Odds rise sharply if talks produce an immediate de-escalation framework; collapse after military casualties would likely end them.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 18% — Whether negotiators can convert a new Swiss round into a public US-Iran ceasefire text inside 30 days. US president and Iran’s Leader must both sign off on terms while Gulf fighting continues; that political clearance rarely happens in weeks. Historic US-Iran accords (Algiers, JCPOA) took 9–20 months of talks; a 30-day window sits well below that base rate. A leaked draft or sudden Oman/Qatar shuttle breakthrough would be the clearest upward revision.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 22% — Whether Washington and Tehran convert the Swiss channel into a signed ceasefire before the window closes. Both sides have already sent principals to Switzerland, so the remaining gap is terms, not contact — a real but narrow opening. A deal needs Trump and Khamenei to accept the same text, and past rounds (Muscat, Rome 2025) collapsed on enrichment scope and sanctions sequencing. Base rate for US-Iran direct talks yielding a formal accord within weeks is low, roughly one in five; this case sits near it given active Gulf fighting raises urgency…

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 9% — Thirty days is far too short for US-Iran diplomacy to clear the trust and verification gaps needed for a formal accord. No US-Iran bilateral agreement has ever been reached in under 60 days; even the 2013 interim JPOA followed months of secret Oman back-channels before announcement. An escalating Gulf conflict raises the stakes each side must concede on (sanctions relief scope, proxy activity, nuclear limits), making a joint statement harder, not… A surprise breakthrough would most likely require a dramatic unilateral de-escalation gesture (e.g., Iran halting enrichment or US lifting a key sanction) within the…
