Description

These markets assess whether specific AI companies will have the top-ranked large language model on the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard by December 31, 2026. Both Kalshi and Polymarket use the same resolution source (Chatbot Arena) and identical ranking methodology, creating a unified event across platforms with multiple company-specific binary outcomes.

PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both platforms use identical resolution logic: rank #1 on Chatbot Arena Text Arena Overall leaderboard by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, with ties counting as Yes.Primary resolution logic: Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard at https://lmarena.ai/leaderboard/text (Text Arena | Overall tab, style control off)

Core resolution logic:

  • A company resolves to Yes if any model it owns or operates achieves rank #1 on the Chatbot Arena Text Arena Overall leaderboard
  • Ties for #1 rank count as Yes resolution
  • Resolution date is December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET
  • Ranking is determined by the Rank column under the Text Arena | Overall tab with style control disabled
  • Each company has an independent binary market; multiple companies can resolve Yes if multiple models tie for #1

Edge cases & clarifications:

  • Leaderboard Unavailability: If https://lmarena.ai/ is offline at resolution time, markets remain open until the leaderboard comes back online. Resolution occurs on first check after restoration. If permanently unavailable, an alternative resolution source will be used.
  • Tied Rankings: If a company's model ties for #1 rank with other models, the market resolves to Yes for that company.
  • Multiple Models per Company: If a company has multiple models on the leaderboard, only the highest-ranked model matters. If any model achieves #1 or ties for #1, the company resolves Yes.
  • Company Ownership Changes: Resolution is based on company ownership as of December 31, 2026. Models must be attributed to the specified company at resolution time.
Timing: Resolution occurs on December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET based on the Chatbot Arena leaderboard state at that moment.Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms. They do not replace or supersede the official rules and description of any prediction market. Users are solely responsible for reviewing and understanding the applicable rules and resolution criteria before placing any trade or bet. If you notice a potential inconsistency, discrepancy, or error in an alert, please report it to our team so we can review and improve the accuracy of our data.

Polymarket

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed company has the highest arena rank based on the Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard (https://lmarena.ai/) by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." Results from the "Rank" column under the "Text Arena | Overall" Leaderboard tab at https://lmarena.ai/leaderboard/text with style control off will be used to resolve this market. If a listed model ties for #1 Arena rank, it will suffice to resolve this market to "Yes." 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 will resolve based on the first check after it becomes available. If it becomes permanently unavailable, this market will resolve based on another resolution source.

Kalshi

The market resolves based on which company's large language model holds the top ranking on December 31, 2026, according to the specified ranking source. When two models are tied under Rank (UB), the model with the highest Arena Score prevails. If still tied, the model with the most votes wins. If still tied after that, the model released earlier wins. Resolution is determined by checking the source with the 'Remove Style Control' toggle enabled. Possible winners include models from Baidu (Ernie), Google (Gemini), OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), xAI (Grok), Meta (Muse Spark), and Alibaba (Qwen).
