3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will gemini-4-argon-high be the best AI model on November 2, 2026? — resolved “No” on 2 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if gemini-4-argon-high holds the top rank on the arena.ai Text Arena leaderboard at 12:00 PM ET on November 2, 2026. The resolution relies strictly on the official leaderboard data from that specific source and time, excluding any models marked as AutoEval. Readers often mistake the release date of new models for the resolution deadline or assume unofficial benchmarks determine the winner.
  • Will Google have the best AI model at the end of October 2026? — resolved “Yes” on 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 67%, with $4k 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.
