3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Google have the best AI model at the end of October 2026? — the market puts it at 92%, with $53k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Google owns the model with the highest rank on the arena.ai Text Arena leaderboard at 12:00 PM ET on October 31, 2026. It resolves to No if any other company holds that top spot at that specific time. Readers often mistake the resolution source, but only data from the specified arena.ai page counts, not general industry reports or other benchmarks.
  • Will Google have the best AI model at the end of November 2026? — the market puts it at 50%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Dec 2026. Google wins if its AI model holds the top spot on the arena.ai Text Arena leaderboard at 12:00 PM ET on November 30, 2026. The ranking relies on unrounded scores for tied models, with alphabetical order breaking any remaining ties. Readers often mistake the deadline date for the time or overlook that AutoEval models are excluded from the count.
  • Will Google have the best AI model at the end of December 2026? — the market puts it at 34%, with $30k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The outcome depends on which company owns the AI model ranked highest on the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard at 12:00 PM ET on December 31, 2026. Readers often mistake the resolution time for midnight or assume any other benchmark determines the winner instead of this specific leaderboard.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
