COINOTAG News notes that the new season of Alpha Arena kicked off on November 20, with eight AI trading models competing. As of this report, the cohort remains in the red, with GPT-5.1 leading at -2.29% and nearing breakeven, while Grok 4 sits at the bottom with -55.79%, and the newcomer Kimi 2 posting -30.36%.

Each season requires multiple matches, each built around a distinct theme, functioning as stress tests for model robustness against diverse prompts. In every match, all participants receive the identical input to ensure a fair, apples-to-apples comparison.

The competition integrates live trading of US stock tokens on trade.xyz, bridging AI evaluation with tokenized assets in the digital markets.
