3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Meta have the best AI model at the end of December 2026? — the market puts it at 1%, with $5k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves by checking the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard on December 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET to see which company owns the model with the highest rank. If ranks are tied, the system uses the precise arena score and then alphabetical order of company names as tiebreakers.
  • Meta — the market puts it at 8%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Meta launches an AI model that ranks number one in app stores before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if this does not happen by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a specific agent for the final resolution, but only the official ranking status and deadline matter.
  • Will Meta have the best AI model at the end of October 2026? — resolved “No” on 31 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Meta owns the model with the highest rank on the specified arena.ai leaderboard at 12:00 PM ET on October 31, 2026. It resolves to No if any other company holds that top spot or if the source becomes permanently unavailable. Readers often mistake the resolution time for the end of the day rather than the specific 12:00 PM ET deadline.
