74% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2026-10-02.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 88% — UN high-level climate summits are choreographed to conclude with bundled multilateral pledges filed immediately in the UN registry. Summit deliverables are pre-negotiated weeks prior, leaving the 5-day window from Sept 23 to Sept 28 purely for administrative filing. Similar UN summits (like the 2014 and 2019 Climate Action Summits) published their formal declaration registries within 72 hours. Failure would require an unprecedented bureaucratic breakdown or a total walkout by coalition leaders before final portal registration.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 72% — Depends on whether UN/host agencies formally log summit pledges within the standard week-long post-summit window. UN climate summits routinely have pledges registered on official platforms (NDC registry, UNFCCC portal) within days as a standard bureaucratic follow-through. Precedent from prior UNGA climate events shows registration typically happens fast since pledges are pre-drafted before the summit for announcement. Main risk is ambiguous or delayed formal registration process, or disputes over what counts as 'registered' versus merely announced.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 76% — A short UNGA-week filing window favors a registrable political pledge, but it depends on a named multilateral vehicle emerging fast. UNGA high-level week routinely produces communiqués and coalition announcements, often lodged with UN bodies within days. States or UN agencies must convert summit rhetoric into an official joint text by September 28, leaving only three days. Odds fall if the summit was merely a convening without a pre-negotiated declaration; a published UN registry entry would sharply raise them.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 22% — Whether extra multilateral climate pledges get filed in the UN registry in the 5 days after the 23 Sept summit. Pledges are almost always announced on summit day itself; secretariat registration of follow-ons rarely occurs inside one week. Past UNGA climate events (2014, 2019, 2023) show post-event add-ons in <25 % of cases and never inside five days. Only a weekend joint filing by major emitters plus UNFCCC would change this; none is scheduled.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 22% — Whether any formal pledge text clears UN channels within five days of a one-day leaders' summit. Summit was Sept 23; a five-day window to Sept 28 leaves almost no time for legal scrubbing and registry posting. UNFCCC pledge registries typically lag political announcements by weeks to months, not days, even after COP decisions. The Sept 2026 summit is a UNGA-week political event, not a COP, so no decision text or secretariat mandate to register exists yet.

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 78% — The summit just happened; filing pledges within 5 days is standard UN practice but depends on whether a formal outcome was pre-negotiated. UN climate summits since 2019 have typically produced pre-cooked pledge packages announced at the event itself, making same-week registration routine. The 5-day window is tight but consistent with how UNGA high-level week outcomes are logged—usually within 24-72 hours of the summit. The main risk is if the summit was downgraded or produced only political declarations rather than quantified pledges, which would delay or prevent formal registration.
