16% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2026-12-06.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 23% — Expanding a micro-ceasefire requires mutual territorial compromises that neither Putin nor Zelensky can politically concede in a month. A one-month window is too narrow to negotiate monitoring and front-line demarcations across hundreds of active kilometers. Localized tactical humanitarian pauses rarely scale to theater-wide truces without formal capitulation or complete exhaustion. A public trilateral summit with binding enforcement mechanisms would be needed to reverse the strong default against agreement.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 11% — Hinges on whether Moscow and Kyiv convert US-brokered local truce into a formal broader ceasefire within a month. Localized ceasefires in this war have repeatedly failed to scale into broader truces despite external pressure, e.g. prior Easter/grain deals collapsed. US leverage matters but both sides retain divergent territorial and security demands that have blocked broader deals for years. A sudden breakthrough summit or signed framework before Dec 6 would be the main thing to flip this toward yes.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 18% — A month is too short for Moscow and Kyiv to convert a tactical pause into a signed wider ceasefire. Russia and Ukraine must both authorize terms by 6 December, with Washington able to press but not compel either side. Broader terms would first need agreement on monitoring, front lines, violations and territorial language—usual ceasefire failure points. Past localized pauses rarely mature quickly amid active war; a verified withdrawal or monitoring deal would raise the odds most.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 18% — A 30-day window after a six-day local pause is too short for Moscow and Kyiv to lock in a wider formal truce. White House pressure after Washington talks can produce statements but not the mutual battlefield freeze both sides have rejected since 2022 Istanbul. Base rate of Ukraine-Russia localized pauses expanding to bilateral ceasefires is near zero; grain/prisoner deals stayed narrow. Only a sudden Russian operational halt or Ukrainian collapse would flip this; neither is signaled by 6 Nov.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 12% — Sustained political will from Moscow and Kyiv to accept broader terms. The current localized truce is a tactical pause, not a strategic breakthrough, suggesting deep-seated mistrust remains. Negotiations require significant concessions from both sides, which have historically been difficult to secure under external pressure alone. The base rate for such a significant escalation of peace from this conflict's trajectory is extremely low, given the ongoing military realities.

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 14% — One month is too short to bridge the gap between a local truce and a broader ceasefire given unresolved core demands. Even with a local truce as precedent, expanding to a broader agreement requires resolving territorial and security-guarantee questions that have stalled every prior… White House pressure alone has never compelled either Moscow or Kyiv to accept terms they view as existentially unfavorable; Russia's maximalist demands and Ukraine's… The one development that would shift this sharply upward: a verified Russian military withdrawal from at least one oblast, which would signal genuine negotiating intent…
