Nof1 designed Alpha Arena to benchmark how well leading AI models perform under real market conditions. In the competition, six large language models, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok 4, Claude Sonnet, Qwen3 Max, and DeepSeek Chat, were each allocated $10,000 to trade cryptocurrency futures across assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin, BNB, and Solana. The contest ran from October 17 to November 3, 2025. CEO Jay Azhang stated that crypto markets were selected for the experiment because of their around-the-clock trading hours, high volatility, and the relative accessibility of on-chain data.
Nof1 published the final Alpha Arena results, with Qwen3 Max finishing first at $12,287, followed by DeepSeek Chat at $10,476. Claude Sonnet, Grok 4, Gemini, and ChatGPT all ended below their starting capital, closing at $6,740, $5,226, $4,485, and $3,794 respectively. The account has published 27 posts and has been active since 2025. Nof1 has been mentioned by 108 accounts, with 160 total mentions.
