The “Alpha Arena” contest, which ended Monday, tasked six leading AI systems with trading digital assets using identical prompts and limited datasets.
ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini from Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), X’s Grok, and Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet all ended in the red.
By contrast, Alibaba’s (NYSE:BABA) Qwen3 Max topped the leaderboard with a $2,232 profit, followed by DeepSeek, which gained $489.
The rest saw steep losses — ChatGPT down $6,267, Gemini down $5,671, Grok down $4,531, and Claude down $3,081, from their $10,000 starting balances.
