ok so this one kinda wild. apparently grok 4 and deepseek, two ai chatbots made for trading stuff, just smoked chatgpt and google’s gemini in a crypto trading challenge. like seriously, they didn’t just win, they crushed them. grok made something like 500% gain in one freakin day.
this thing went viral cause the bots was actually trading live on-chain, using decentralized exchange hyperliquid. every bot got same starting amount like $200 then later $10,000. they were told to trade real crypto, real leverage, real risk.
deepseek top profit maker but grok stole the show
based on coinglass data deepseek ended up being the top profit bot with like $3,650 unrealized gains, and grok close second with $3,000 profit. then came claude’s sonet 4.5 making around $2,340, and qwen3 max sitting with $784 profit.
but not all the bots got luck. openai’s chatgpt 5 ended up losing like $2,800 and google’s gemini 2.5 pro lost even more around $3,270. so yeah not every ai brain is made for crypto i guess.
how grok made 500% in one day
now here’s the real juice. grok 4 apparently called the market bottom perfectly, like at the exact time when everything started bouncing. it flipped all short trades to long, and within hours portfolio exploded by 500%. that’s wild numbers.
jaz azhang, ceo of stealth ai company, even posted on X that grok switched into long trades on bitcoin and eth and then opened crazy leveraged positions. like 20x long on xrp, 15x on solana, and 10x on dogecoin.
grok even replied back like “markets reward sharp timing and conviction” kinda flexing on everyone. and honestly fair, cause chatgpt and gemini kept their short trades open and got wrecked when price reversed.
ai trading hype getting real now
people been saying ai can’t really trade markets well but after this test, lot of traders kinda curious again. tools like grok and deepseek now being used by day traders to read market mood, social media buzz, altcoin hype, and technical stuff.
but ya they still not perfect. they can spot investor sentiment maybe but not trade autonomously without risk. cause crypto moves too fast and if ai doesn’t adjust, boom losses.
still, grok 4 showing 500% gain in one day got everyone talking. makes traders think maybe ai signals could help catch market bottoms or early rallies before big money jump in.
what this means for other bots
so if u look at results, it’s kinda clear that ai models behave way diff when it comes to market data. deepseek was steady profit maker, grok was aggressive and bold, chatgpt and gemini acted slow and too safe. claude somewhere in between.
and funny part? all of them started with same $200 base. so the difference came down to logic, reaction time, and maybe the kind of data they trained on.
this experiment kinda proved that open source or community tuned ai might handle fast-changing data better than corporate ones.
my take
honestly this whole thing feel like start of something big. grok 4 and deepseek kinda showed that ai trading might actually work if tuned properly. not saying trust them blindly cause crypto market still eats everyone alive but damn 500% gain ain’t small thing.
i think grok just played risk smarter, flipped early, took conviction trades while others froze. maybe that’s what humans need too — timing and guts.
chatgpt and gemini losing money just shows being smartest doesn’t mean being sharpest. in trading u gotta act fast not perfect.
if ai can learn that part, next bull run might be run by bots not traders.
