Resolution is the Chatbot Arena / LMArena leaderboard on Dec 31, 2026 at 12:00pm ET. Google's Gemini models have been at or near the top of that leaderboard through 2026, but OpenAI and Anthropic are very close, so this is close to a coin flip, slightly favouring Google.

What counts as YES?
The source target date is market metadata and may differ from the actual event finish. The rules below determine the outcome.
This market will resolve according to the company which owns the model which has the highest arena rank based off the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard (https://lmarena.ai/) when the table under the "Leaderboard" tab is checked on December 31, 2026, 12:00 PM ET. Results from the "Rank" section on the Leaderboard tab of https://lmarena.ai/leaderboard/text with the style control off will be used to resolve this market. Models will be ordered primarily by their leaderboard rank at the market’s check time. If two or more models are tied on rank, they will be ordered by their Arena score, including any underlying, unrounded, granular values reflected in the data below the leaderboard. If a tie remains, alphabetical order of company names as listed in this market group will be used as a final tiebreaker (e.g., if the two models are tied by exact arena score, “Google” would be ranked ahead of “xAI”). This market will resolve based on the company that occupies first place under this ranking system. The resolution source for this market is the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard found at https://lmarena.ai/. If this resolution source is unavailable at check time, this market will remain open until the leaderboard comes back online and resolve based on the first check after it becomes available. If it becomes permanently unavailable, this market will resolve based on another resolution source.

On the Nov 9 LMArena text leaderboard Google holds #1 (Gemini 4 Carbon High, 1526, preliminary) and #2 (Gemini 4 Argon High, 1522), ahead of Meta Muse Wonder (1511) and Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (1506). A ~15-point lead is meaningful but ~7 weeks remain for new releases from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta or xAI, and the resolution view (style control off) can reorder top models. I could only verify the default view.
Source 1 ↗The November 9 Text Arena table places Google first and second: Gemini 4 Carbon at 1526 and Argon at 1522, ahead of Meta's 1511 and Anthropic's 1506. Two leading models support Google being the favorite. However, Carbon's result is preliminary, and roughly seven weeks allow new competing releases and score changes. This forecasts the specified leaderboard outcome, not general AI capability. The returned default table was verified, but its Style Control checkbox state was not independently confirmed, adding measurement uncertainty.
