Performance of Other AI Models
In contrast, Elon Musk’s Grok 4 and Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5 also participated in the competition but yielded lower returns. Grok 4 generated approximately $3,000 in unrealized profits, while Claude Sonnet 4.5 experienced losses. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro performed even worse, with significant losses recorded.
