24%

At least one Fortune 500 enterprise discloses an on-prem AI workload greater than $100M annual using open-weight models.

Drivers

  • Reference class qtype:disclosure runs 0.50 (n=29) vs stated 0.60.
  • Hierarchical calibration moves stated 0.60 to 0.53 (lens software, kappa_stated=24.0, kappa_lens=200.0).
  • Feature model at 0.25: conjuncts=1, named disclosure=True, horizon=158d.
  • Council of 5 at 0.12.

Cautions

  • all 5 votes came from one vendor (openai); extremization disabled, persona diversity only

Council

5 personas on one model (openai/gpt-5.6-sol); other vendors were unavailable this run, so read this as one model's persona-averaged view, aggregated by log odds mean without extremization.

The underlying buildout is plausible, but the resolution burden is unusually strict: one primary disclosure must name a Fortune 500 customer, characterize the workload as on-prem, and explicitly state more than 50 MW or its kW equivalent. Enterprises and vendors more often disclose GPU counts, investment, or total facility capacity, none of which safely establishes AI-workload power under the ambiguity rule. Fifty MW is also far above most enterprise-owned AI deployments. With only 24 days remaining and no qualifying disclosure indicated in the digest, I estimate well below the forecaster’s 0.6.

The threshold is unusually large for enterprise on-premises deployment: 50MW implies a hyperscale-class AI installation, while Fortune 500 customers usually disclose accelerator counts, investment dollars, or facility capacity—not an AI workload’s electrical equivalent. Even a large data-center announcement may fail because capacity is not clearly an on-prem AI workload. The strict requirement for both the named customer and an explicit figure in a primary disclosure further lowers resolution odds. Only 24 days remain, and the supplied series provides no qualifying disclosure evidence. The software and disclosure base rates are materially less informative than these event-specific constraints.

The 0.60 forecast is too high. A >50MW on-prem AI workload is exceptionally large, and enterprises usually disclose compute scale through accelerator counts or spending—not power-equivalent workload. Named customers and site-level power figures are also frequently withheld. The digest shows extraordinary hyperscaler capex and RPO growth but no qualifying enterprise disclosure. With only 24 days remaining, normal 10-Q calendars offer little help; an unusually specific press release or 8-K would be required. The generic disclosure and software reference rates substantially overstate this narrowly worded event, while ambiguity resolves against qualification.

superforecaster statistician · openai/gpt-5.6-sol

I start from the software-lens base rate of 0.452; the disclosure-class rate is 0.500. I cut sharply because only 24 days remain and resolution requires several details in one timely primary disclosure: a Fortune 500 name, an explicitly on-prem AI workload, and capacity above 50MW. The digest’s large capex and RPO figures support AI infrastructure growth but establish none of those details. Its supplied filings also contain no qualifying disclosure. The forecaster’s 0.60 confidence band realized only 0.556, indicating overconfidence. Most of the original forecast window has elapsed, while hard-date disclosure timing and ambiguity resolving against the forecast add substantial failure risk.

geopolitics regulation analyst · openai/gpt-5.6-sol

Only 24 days remain, and the digest shows strong AI infrastructure spending but no qualifying named-customer disclosure. A >50MW on-prem workload is unusually large, while enterprises commonly omit site power, describe capacity indirectly, or announce plans rather than an actual workload. Capex, RPO, permitting, and model-release evidence cannot satisfy the strict primary-disclosure rule. Quarter-end announcements provide some residual chance, but ambiguity resolves against a hit. The April 0.6 forecast is therefore too high after most of the forecast window elapsed without cited resolution evidence.
