Round 5

One saved weekly assessment of At least one light active neutrino has a Majorana mass component., kept as it was published. It is an estimate from three models reading the evidence, not proof the hypothesis holds, and it did not set any price.

What each model said
OpenAI 0.50

openai/gpt-6.1-sol

I interpret the hypothesis as allowing arbitrarily small Majorana components, not requiring light-neutrino-dominated decay. Current searches provide limits rather than replicated signals, and no verified exact protecting symmetry is established; neither resolution criterion is met. These null results constrain parameter space but scarcely distinguish this broad hypothesis from its contrary, motivating a neutral estimate.

What would change this view: Two independently acquired, background-controlled five-sigma lepton-number-violating signals would raise my estimate; independently verified exact protection against every specified Majorana term would lower it.

Anthropic 0.03

anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5

No 0νββ signal exists. The latest results are limits: KamLAND-Zen T1/2 > 3.8e26 yr, LEGEND-200 > 1.9e26 yr, and CUORE's limit. Neutrinos could still have a Majorana mass component, so the YES criterion is unmet. Nothing establishes an exact lepton-number symmetry, so NO is unmet too. Limits can't set a Majorana component to exactly zero, so the market stays undecided.

What would change this view: Two independent experiments each reporting a ≥5σ, peer-reviewed 0νββ peak would move this to YES. A verified exact lepton-number symmetry would move it to NO.

xAI 0.50

x-ai/grok-4.7

No experiment reports a neutrinoless double-beta signal at 5σ. LEGEND-200 combined with GERDA and MAJORANA finds no evidence, and PDG 2025 quotes only half-life limits (KamLAND-Zen). No result establishes an exact lepton-number symmetry forbidding a light Majorana mass, and null limits cannot prove that component is zero.

What would change this view: Two independent ≥5σ 0νββ signals with controlled backgrounds, or a proven symmetry forbidding every light Majorana mass.
