Anthropic currently trails Google on the relevant raw text leaderboard, but its newly released Fable 5.2 is not yet represented in the snapshot. Improved communication and broad reported capability gains provide a credible path to first place. Seven weeks allow additional releases and leaderboard updates, but also give Google and other rivals time to respond. Anthropic is a substantial contender rather than the favorite. The legacy no-style-control URL redirects to scoring=raw; hidden checkbox state was not independently inspected.

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 Arena text leaderboard (no style control, Nov 9 update), Google holds #1 (Gemini 4 Carbon 1538, preliminary) and #2 (Gemini 4 Argon 1530); Anthropic's best is Claude Opus 5.5 at 1513, ~25 points back. Anthropic needs a new release that leapfrogs Google within 7 weeks; plausible given its cadence but behind. Consistent with our sealed Google end-Dec 62%.
