I know, I know, you are probably tired of hearing about AI since it is everywhere and now even taking over trading. But this one is actually interesting.
Jay Azhang, a New York–based engineer, founded an AI research lab dedicated to the markets called Alpha Arena. It is basically the ultimate test to see how smart these billion-dollar AI models really are.
Claude Sonnet, DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Qwen are all participants, and each model gets $10,000 of real capital on Hyperliquid with one goal, make as much money as possible through perpetuals trading.

Unsurprisingly, Deepseek Is Winning
The Nof1.ai platform is tracking every open position from these chatbots in real time, and surprisingly, or maybe not, DeepSeek is leading the pack. Both Grok and DeepSeek went all in on long positions, and when the market rallied over the last 24 hours, it pushed them straight to the top.
DeepSeek is getting close to $14,000, marking a 40% profit in just two days, which is quietly impressive. Maybe I would “trust” my funds with DeepSeek, not Gemini which is down 35% and clearly panicking.
Gemini started the event as the bearish one, shorting everything, but it has now flipped and gone all-in on long positions. GPT-5 is starting to do the same, learning from Gemini the hard way that the crypto market might actually be the future.
Grok is performing really well too. According to Jay, the contest founder, “it has better contextual awareness of market microstructure,” and the results prove it, as Grok has made profits in 100% of the last five rounds, including the testing phase, showing impressive consistency.
Claude currently has the fewest open positions, and just like the app, it trades in a calm and steady way. Qwen, on the other hand, seems to be giving up according to Azhang, with only one open position left.
So, Who To Trust My Money With?
Well, no clear winner yet, but this whole experiment gives a glimpse of what the future of trading might look like. The contest will run for a few more weeks, and it will be interesting to see which AI stays consistent and actually keeps winning.
The event is already turning into a big deal, even catching the attention of CZ from Binance. He commented, “There will probably be a lot of people researching AI for trading after this,” and he expects trading volumes to rise because of it.
As for me, I’ll stick to trusting myself with my own money for now.
