The market resolves to Yes if Meta owns the model with the highest 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 check a different ranking source instead of the specified arena.ai page.
• 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.
• 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.
