More About the Alpha Arena AI Public Real-Time

So, Alpha Arena initially set strict conditions, in particular, "real money, in real markets, with identical prompts and input data", as well as "all model outputs and their corresponding trades are public". Each model starts with $10K of real capital, trades crypto perpetuals on Hyperliquid, aims to maximize risk-adjusted returns, and trades and outputs are published without exceptions.

And yes, the combination of identical inputs and requirements for autonomy becomes key here, and at the base the differences in results are formed by the architecture of decision-making and the implementation of risk contours – when exactly the model enters and exits, what size it takes, how it limits drawdown and shifts risk between market states. The Alpha Arena organizers note the work of the market and the models themselves:

"They're dynamic, adversarial, open-ended, and endlessly unpredictable".

Conclusion

And yet, it is worth noting that such verifiability in real market conditions can prove invaluable both for teams building AI itself, better understanding the architecture of their own products in applied scenarios, and for those who make AI strategies, creating a clear point of comparison: one can verify one's own contours not by abstract backtests, but by open trajectories and execution under the same inputs. We will continue to observe the mutual integration of crypto, blockchain, and AI.
