71% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2029-11-08.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 74% — CIRCIA mandatory 72-hour reporting will fully distort the baseline upwards as enforcement and compliance normalize through 2027. CISA CIRCIA rules finalized in 2025-2026 legally compel previously voluntary disclosures, driving official incident tallies up. FBI IC3 and CISA historical reports show critical infrastructure disruptions grew in over 70% of years since 2019. A massive 2026 plateau in geopolitical adversary activity or strict narrowing of CISA's intake scope would reverse this trend.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 68% — Hinges on whether CISA/FBI reporting trends and actual attack volumes keep rising as in most recent years. Reported CI incidents have increased almost every year since CISA/FBI began standardized tracking, driven by ransomware, state-sponsored intrusions, and OT targeting. Mandatory reporting rules (CIRCIA) are expanding reporting coverage through 2026-2027, mechanically inflating counts even if true incident rates plateau. Main risk to 'yes' is a reporting methodology change, agency restructuring, or data disclosure gap that breaks year-over-year comparability.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 68% — The result mainly depends on whether CISA/FBI reporting coverage expands faster than any decline in major intrusions. CISA and the FBI must publish comparable 2026 and 2027 annual figures, likely by the 2028–29 reporting cycle. Recent CISA/FBI reporting shows persistent ransomware, state activity, and broader mandatory incident reporting, making increases more common than declines. A major disruption in reporting definitions or a sharp ransomware decline after new regulations would most reduce the likelihood.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 71% — CIRCIA-driven reporting plus persistent threat volume make a 2027 > 2026 official CI count the default. CISA/FBI annual CI tallies (CIRCIA, IC3, sector reports) appear 12–18 months after year-end, so 2027 figures land well before 2029-11-08. CIRCIA final rules and mandatory reporting for 16 sectors phase in 2026–27, mechanically lifting counts even if true incidents flatten. FBI IC3 and CISA year-over-year CI/ransomware series rose in most of the last decade; the new mandate puts 2027 above that base unless definitions tighten or a major…

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 71% — Turns on whether CISA/FBI's published annual counts keep climbing, which they have every year since 2018. CISA's annual risk-and-vulnerability assessments and FBI IC3 reports have shown rising incident counts nearly every year since 2018, so the base rate favors another… Reporting mandates under CIRCIA (final rules due 2026) should push 2027 counts up mechanically as more entities are legally required to report. A major drop would require either a genuine lull in ransomware/state activity or a definitional change in what counts, neither of which is likely within the window.

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 83% — CIRCIA mandatory reporting will be in effect by 2027, structurally inflating counts beyond any plausible threat-level dip. CIRCIA final rules published 2024 phase in mandatory reporting; by 2027 covered entities must file, mechanically raising counts vs. prior years. CISA/FBI annual reports have shown YoY increases every year since at least 2020; no precedent for a decline even in lower-threat periods. A methodology change or political decision to suppress publication is the main downside risk, but no current signal points that direction.
