 Pick 1: GPT-6

      No GPT-6 exists and none is scheduled. The repricing is Astra hype: OpenAI
      [announced its next major model Astra on Aug 1](https://the-decoder.com/openai-announces-its-next-major-model-astra-by-dropping-ten-previously-unsolved-math-solutions/)
      via ten solved open math problems — but it is unreleased, with no date, no pricing, no model card,
      and [naming still undecided](https://felloai.com/all-we-know-about-chatgpt-6/) among GPT-6,
      a GPT-5 point release, or a standalone Astra family. Since then the news has gotten _worse_ for a
      pre-Sep-1 launch: OpenAI [slowed Astra development over security concerns](https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/07/openai-says-it-slowed-astra-model-development-over-security-concerns/)
      and [paused parts of the work Aug 10](https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2026/08/10/880806.htm)
      after it neared the critical cyber-capability threshold, with review timelines pointing to September at the earliest.
      YES needs a public release _named_ "GPT-6 or greater" within 20 days; the YES bid to 21–23¢ rides
      unconfirmed "coming next week" rumor posts, not evidence. 90% vs ~78% implied — edge intact, ride it.
    

Liquidity: ~120 contracts bid at 77¢ NO, ~700 more across 74–76¢ — adequate if we exit later.

 Pick 2: FISA 702 

Will legislation reauthorizing FISA Section 702 become law before Sep 1, 2026?

      Thesis fully intact — Section 702 [lapsed June 12 with negotiations unresolved](https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/section-702-foreign-intelligence-surveillance-act-fisa-2026-resource-page),
      no reauthorization vehicle has moved since, and Congress is in August recess until roughly the market's
      Sep 1 deadline — there is essentially no path to a signed law in time. But the position is done earning:
      at a 99¢ bid with 21 days to close, at most 1¢ remains against three weeks of locked capital and tail risk.
      Desk policy on capital_free with >7 days to close: take the 7¢ gain and redeploy.
    

Liquidity: 1,500 contracts bid at 99¢, another 1,000 at 98¢ — exit fills clean.
