How this market settles

This market will resolve according to the listed entity, which is the first to reach an Arena Score of 1550+ on the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard (https://lmarena.ai/) by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Results from the "Text Arena" section on the leaderboard/text tab of https://lmarena.ai/ with the style control unchecked (https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text/overall-no-style-control) will be used to resolve this market. If no company's model reaches 1550+ Arena Score by the specified time, this market will resolve to "None in 2026". If the first model to reach a 1550+ Arena Score belongs to any company other than the listed ones, this market will be resolved to "Other". The resolution source for this market is the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard found at https://lmarena.ai/. If this resolution source becomes unavailable, the market will remain open until it is accessible again. If it becomes permanently unavailable, resolution will be based on another credible source.

What could still go wrong

  • The market references 'listed entities' but only describes Google as one option — the full list of competing entities is not provided in this description, making it unclear which companies are enumerated versus falling under 'Other'.
  • The term 'first company' could be ambiguous if multiple models from different companies cross 1550 simultaneously or within the same leaderboard update cycle.
  • Leaderboard scores are updated periodically and can fluctuate; it is unclear whether a model must sustain 1550+ or only needs to appear at 1550+ at any snapshot in time.
  • The resolution source URL changed between description (https://lmarena.ai/) and leaderboard URL (https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text/overall-no-style-control), which may indicate domain migration or inconsistency.
  • No explicit definition of which Google entity or subsidiary qualifies (e.g., Google DeepMind vs. Google Research vs. Alphabet subsidiaries).
  • Timezone ambiguity: end date is listed as December 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET but the metadata end date is 2027-01-01T04:59:00Z (UTC), which are equivalent but could cause confusion.
