🥊 Moon Dev's AI Trading Battles

Live at moondev.com/ai. Six flagship AI models each trade a real $100 Hyperliquid perpetuals account against each other. Every hour they all get the exact same market snapshot and decide: long, short, or flat. No human help, no algorithm behind it, the model's decisions only. Every decision is public forever.

The question this exists to answer

A new frontier model ships what feels like every month now, from a different lab every time, each one benchmarked to death on math, code, and trivia. None of that answers the only question a trader cares about:

Which AI is actually the best at trading?

Not which one predicts best. Which one decides best: sizing, timing, when to sit still, when to cut.

So they all get the identical data, the identical rules, and 1,000 decisions to prove it. Same snapshot down to the tick, same prompt, same market, same hour. Whatever separates them is the model.

Predictions and hot streaks aren't skill. Execution, risk, and time are everything. This is the running, public proof, the benchmark that gets re-run every time a lab ships a new flagship.

🔍 100% transparent, on purpose

A benchmark you can't audit is a marketing page. So:

• The whole harness is this repo. Every prompt, the exact market snapshot, the cadence, the position sizing, the execution path, all of it is right here, readable. Nothing about how these models are asked or how their trades are placed is hidden.
• Every trade settles on chain. On moondev.com/ai you can click any model to open its live P&L curve and its actual Hyperliquid address, and watch its positions in real time. You don't have to trust the leaderboard, go read the chain.
• Every decision is posted the moment it's made, with the model's complete unedited reasoning. Including the bad ones. Especially the bad ones.
