78% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2027-11-08.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 98% — The US Army virtually always grants four-day holiday weekends for Memorial Day via standardized command release memos. DOD and Army leadership standardly authorize four-day passes around federal holiday Mondays, spanning Friday through Monday. Decades of consistent precedent across major Army commands confirm Memorial Day training holidays are planned annually. Only a sudden global mobilization or total operational freeze in May 2027 would cancel the routine pass schedule.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 78% — Hinges on routine Army scheduling practice continuing as it has most years around Memorial Day. The Army has historically granted four-day weekends for Memorial Day in most recent years as standard practice. This requires only routine command-level authorization, not major policy change, so base rate is high. A shift in military readiness posture or budget/operational tempo demands could reduce or alter the holiday schedule.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 71% — It chiefly depends on whether Army leaders add the Friday before the federally observed Monday holiday as a training holiday. Memorial Day 2027 falls Monday, May 31; a four-day release requires an Army-level Friday, May 28, authorization. Recent Army calendars commonly pair selected federal holidays with training holidays, but such releases are discretionary rather than automatic. Odds would rise sharply if the FY2027 Army holiday/training-holiday calendar explicitly lists May 28 as a training holiday.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 78% — Army-wide 96-hour pass for Memorial Day 2027, issued by DA/FORSCOM in spring. DA/FORSCOM typically publishes holiday-pass guidance 4-8 weeks before Memorial Day; that window is May 2027. Recent-year base rate is ~80% for 4-day Memorial Day weekends absent major ops; 2027 has no known large exercise blocking it. A sudden Korea/Taiwan contingency or Army-wide training stand-down would be the clearest downward shift.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 78% — Whether Army leadership formally authorizes a 4-day Memorial Day 2027 pass, which recent years suggest is likely. The Army publishes its annual training and holiday schedule via ALARACT/DA messages, typically 6-12 months ahead; a 2027 Memorial Day pass would already be drafted by… Recent precedent: the Army has granted 4-day Memorial Day weekends in most years since 2020 (e.g., 2023, 2024), so the base rate is high, roughly 70-80%. The main risk is operational tempo or a new SECDEF/CSA policy tightening leave; a formal cancellation of the 2027 four-day pass would flip this to near zero.

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 96% — Memorial Day four-day passes are a decades-long standing practice; only a major conflict or unprecedented policy shift would break it. DOD has authorized Friday-through-Monday passes for Memorial Day every year in recent memory; it's one of the few holidays routinely granted as four days. The action requires only routine DOD/Army administrative guidance, typically issued weeks in advance—no legislative or budgetary hurdle. The only realistic scenario that would cancel it is a large-scale mobilization or national emergency consuming all leave authority, which remains unlikely by May 2027.
