8% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2026-11-15.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 4% — Seven days is far too narrow for US and Iranian leadership to draft, approve, and publicly announce a formal interim pact. Even expedited backchannel diplomacy mediated by Oman or Qatar historically requires weeks to codify formal bilateral terms. Immediate domestic political blowback in Washington and Tehran following fresh strikes disincentivizes rapid official concessions. Tacit operational standstills often occur quickly, but a publicly announced interim deal by November 15 would be unprecedented.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 4% — One week left and no reported breakthrough suggests an announced interim deal is very unlikely by Nov 15. Interim deals require weeks of shuttle diplomacy, trust-building, and domestic political cover on both sides, not days. Post-strike environments typically harden positions first; de-escalation announcements usually lag military action by months, not a week. Absent a visible breakthrough signal (e.g., Oman/Qatar mediation reports, leaked term sheets), there's no evidence pointing toward imminent announcement.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 18% — A public interim accord requires Washington and Tehran to accept face-saving terms within a one-week crisis window. The U.S., Iran, and likely Omani or Qatari mediators must settle ceasefire, maritime, and verification language before 15 November. Post-strike backchannels often produce pauses or prisoner swaps, but formally announced bilateral deals within days are uncommon. Odds rise sharply if Oman announces delegated talks and both sides publicly pause maritime or retaliatory operations.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 11% — Official US-Iran interim announcement in the next 7 days after strikes. Both capitals must clear and publicly announce terms by 15 Nov; mediators cannot substitute. Post-strike talks historically stall (Soleimani 2020, later tit-for-tat) rather than produce text in under two weeks. A leaked agreed draft circulating today would raise odds sharply; none is visible.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 4% — A 7-day window is far too short for the domestic approvals an announced US-Iran interim deal requires. The window is 7 days; US-Iran interim deals historically take months, and the 2015 JCPOA took 20+ months of talks. Both sides must clear domestic veto players: Iran's IRGC and Supreme Leader, plus US Congress review, before any announcement. The one thing that would change my mind: a publicly confirmed direct US-Iran channel with a draft text already circulating.

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 14% — Seven days is too short for Iran's layered approval process to produce a formal announced interim agreement. Iran's Supreme Leader and IRGC must both sign off on any deal, a process that historically takes weeks even under crisis pressure. Base rate for US-Iran interim agreements announced within one week of active strikes is near zero; the 2013 JPOA took months of back-channel work after initial contact. A development that would raise this sharply: a confirmed back-channel (e.g., Oman or Qatar) already carrying agreed draft language before the strikes occurred.
