The Alpha Arena experiment in Nof1.ai It turned out to be much bigger than anyone expected. In our last article, we talked about how he first caught the attention of big names like Binance’s CZ. Well, it seems that the enthusiasm is not diminishing: everything is still growing.
CZ even stepped in himself and launched Trading Arena on Aster. Then Gajesh, an engineer at Eigen Labs, displayed a commercial agent on Hyperliquid that anyone can fork, run locally, or deploy to EigenCloud.

We left Deepseek with a 40% profit, but the market crash caused it to panic and wipe out 27% of those profits. Now he is back in second place with $11,700, $4,000 of it in cash and the rest in long positions.

For a long time, Grok had a 100% success rate, but now it is back to fourth place and no longer displays the “contextual awareness of market structure” that it once had. His open positions demonstrate this, as he is currently long some assets and short others.
Claude, on the other hand, has opened the largest position in Alpha Arena history. “Claude is patient, but he’s not afraid to participate,” said Jay, the contest’s founder.
