Chinese AI models, DeepSeek and Qwen, are leading a cryptocurrency trading competition, achieving over 100% returns in just nine days. DeepSeek’s Chat V3.1 model increased its initial US$10,000 to US$22,500, marking a 125% gain. Meanwhile, Qwen 3 Max, developed by Alibaba, doubled its account value with a 95% gain, briefly surpassing 100% returns. In contrast, OpenAI’s GPT-5 and Google DeepMind’s Gemini 2.5 Pro have both faced significant losses, with GPT-5 losing nearly 60% of its capital. The competition, ending on November 3, challenges six AI models to maximize returns by trading cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ether, and dogecoin.
