Alibaba’s early August launch of the 2.4-trillion-parameter Qwen3.8-Max MoE model, followed by open-weight releases for both the flagship and a compact 27B variant, has anchored trader sentiment at 60.5% implied probability. The releases delivered competitive or superior results on coding, long-horizon agentic, and multimodal benchmarks relative to domestic rivals while accelerating Hugging Face downloads and Alibaba Cloud AI revenue. Moonshot’s earlier Kimi K3 maintains a 25% share on its agent-swarm strengths, with Z.ai, DeepSeek, and others clustered lower amid a tight race in open-weight efficiency and cost. Resolution hinges on end-October arena rankings, where further model cadence or adoption shifts could still alter positioning before the deadline.

Results from the "Rank" column under the "Text Arena | Overall" Leaderboard tab at https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text/overall-no-style-control with style control off (Adjustments: None) and filtered for "Models" will be used to resolve this market.
Note: Models marked “AutoEval” at the applicable check time will not be considered, regardless of whether they display a rank or score.
Qualifying Chinese Models will be ordered primarily by their leaderboard rank at the market’s check time. If two or more models are tied on rank, they will be ordered by their Arena score, including any underlying, unrounded, granular values reflected in the data below the leaderboard. If a tie still remains, alphabetical order of company names as listed in this market group will be used as a final tiebreaker (e.g., if the two models are tied by exact arena score, “Meituan” would be ranked ahead of “Xiaomi”). This market will resolve based on the company that occupies first place under this ranking.
The resolution source for this market is the arena.ai Text Arena (Overall). If this resolution source is unavailable at check time, this market will remain open until the leaderboard comes back online and will resolve based on the first check after it becomes available.
