67% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2027-05-07.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 82% — Trilateral ratification faces no domestic vetoes across Ankara, Riyadh, and Islamabad, leaving only standard diplomatic procedural delays. Turkey has already completed legislative ratification, while executive approval in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan moves quickly without opposition. Trilateral security treaties typically enter into force within 3 to 6 months following deposit of the final instrument of ratification. A sharp diplomatic rupture between Riyadh and Islamabad over external debt or regional alignment would be the primary blocking risk.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 22% — Depends on Pakistan and Saudi Arabia completing their own ratification/depositary steps after Turkey's parliamentary approval. Turkey has ratified but trilateral entry into force requires all three states to complete domestic procedures and deposit instruments, which is slow and politically… Saudi-Pakistan defense ties are already close but formalizing a trilateral pact with explicit mutual defense language faces bureaucratic and diplomatic friction… Historically, multilateral defense pacts of this sort take years beyond initial signing/ratification by one party to fully enter into force, and the 18-month window to…

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 63% — Saudi and Pakistani completion of domestic approval and depositary notifications is the remaining gate. Turkey’s ratification removes one major hurdle, leaving Riyadh and Islamabad to finish their own constitutional processes by May 2027. Defense treaties commonly enter force within months after final ratification, but trilateral accords can stall on implementing terms or sequencing. A public Saudi ratification instrument or depositary notice before early 2027 would materially raise the odds.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 71% — Pakistan and Saudi ratification plus deposit must finish in the remaining six months. Turkey has already ratified; Saudi royal decree can issue in weeks once Riyadh decides. Pakistan’s National Assembly typically needs 2–6 months for defense treaties; no blocking coalition exists now. Comparable trilateral pacts (e.g., 2024 Turkiye-Qatar) entered force in 4–8 months when all capitals wanted them; a Pak government collapse would be the main delay.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 32% — Whether Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have both completed their own ratification and depositary notification steps by May 2027. Turkey's Grand National Assembly ratified in 2025, but Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have shown no comparable parliamentary action as of November 2026. Three-way defense pacts historically take 3-6 years from signing to entry into force; the 2024 signing gives roughly a 40% base rate for completion within three years. The one development that would most change my mind is a public announcement of Saudi Shura Council or Pakistani parliamentary ratification with a deposit date before May…

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 74% — All three governments want this; the question is whether Pakistan and Saudi Arabia clear procedural steps within six months. Turkey's TBMM ratification is done; Pakistan's National Assembly and Saudi Shura Council/royal decree remain, both typically fast for defense pacts with strong executive… Six months is a generous window for depositary steps among willing parties; comparable trilateral pacts (e.g., NATO accession protocols) clear in 2–4 months once… A coup, major political crisis in Pakistan, or a Saudi-Turkish diplomatic rupture would stall it; absent such a shock, bureaucratic inertia is the main risk.
