One prediction market prices this story:
- Will Microsoft have the best AI model at the end of December 2026? — the market puts it at 0%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves by checking the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard at 12:00 PM ET on December 31, 2026. The outcome is Yes if Microsoft owns the model with the highest rank; otherwise, it is No. Readers often mistake the deadline for midnight or assume any public ranking counts instead of this specific leaderboard.
