Description

This event tracks the adoption of open-source software in AI development by measuring the proportion of open versus closed token usage on a specific platform. It reflects broader trends in transparency and accessibility within technology ecosystems. The outcome depends on whether usage thresholds are met, indicating varying levels of open-source influence.

Kalshi

The event evaluates whether the Open vs. Closed Token Volume (open weights share) for September 16, 2026, exceeds specified thresholds, with multiple markets each defining a different percentage benchmark for resolution. All markets use the same data source: Vercel AI Gateway's Open vs. Closed Token Volume chart, with the value for September 16, 2026, determined at 10:00 AM ET on September 17, 2026. Each market resolves to 'Yes' if the measured open weights share surpasses its respective threshold—ranging from 55% to 75%—and 'No' otherwise. Kalshi clarifies that it holds no official affiliation with Vercel, and all referenced trademarks remain property of their respective owners. The structure allows participants to speculate on varying degrees of open-source adoption, with higher thresholds representing more stringent conditions for a 'Yes' outcome.
