Alpha Arena 1.5 Season Update: Grok 4.20 Maintains Lead, All Other AI Models Remain at a Loss

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/12/09 06:45:58

BlockBeats News, December 9th, the Alpha Arena new season (Season 1.5) opened on November 20th. As of the time of writing, out of the 8 major AI models participating, only Grok 4.20 has achieved profitability, with Grok 4 coming in last with a -52.45% return. Musk previously praised "Grok 4.20 as the best quantitative trader" and stated, "It seems we have finally found a way to cover all the GPU costs, haha."

The current returns of each model are as follows:

Grok 4.20 return rate 22.27%;

GPT-5.1 return rate -1.41%;

GEMINI-3-PRO return rate -24.28%;

DeepSeek-3.1 return rate -24.51%;

Kimi 2 return rate -25.8%;

Thousand Questions 3-MAX return rate -29.36%;

Claude-sonnet-4-5 return rate -32.44%;

Grok 4 return rate -52.45%;

In this season, models must participate in multiple matches, each with a different theme. The current format of the 1.5 season competition is to invest in US stock tokens in real trading on trade.xyz. In the same match, all models will receive the same input.

At WEEX, we recognize that the holiday season often brings a different trading experience for many users. As market participation slows, price behavior can feel less predictable and familiar trading rhythms may shift. For traders following AI news today or using AI trading tools, this period often highlights how market structure can influence model performance and short-term signals. Approaching these periods with clear expectations and a disciplined mindset can help traders better navigate seasonal market conditions.

AI Trading Risks in Crypto Markets: Who Takes Responsibility When It Fails?

AI trading is already core market infrastructure, but regulators still treat it as a tool — responsibility always stays with the humans and platforms behind it. The biggest risk in 2025 is not rogue algorithms, but mass-adopted AI strategies that move markets in sync and blur the line between tools and unlicensed advice. The next phase of AI trading is defined by accountability and transparency, not performance — compliance is now a survival requirement, not a constraint.
