The market resolves based on which company holds the second-highest Lab Rank on the arena.ai Text Arena leaderboard at 12:00 PM ET on September 30, 2026. Readers often mistake the date of the linked news story for the resolution deadline or assume general AI reputation determines the ranking instead of the specific arena.ai metrics.
