An AI model developed by Alibaba has emerged as the top performer in a cryptocurrency trading experiment, surpassing both US and Chinese competitors. Over two weeks, Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen3-Max model achieved a 22.32% return on a $10,000 investment in cryptocurrency perpetual contracts on the Hyperliquid exchange. The only other profitable model was DeepSeek’s V3.1 Chat, which saw a 4.89% gain. In contrast, four US models, including those from OpenAI and Google DeepMind, incurred significant losses, with OpenAI’s GPT-5 dropping 62.66%. The experiment, closely followed by AI enthusiasts, showcased the models’ autonomous trading strategies, though early results were cautioned to possibly be due to luck, as the models only had access to quantitative market data without news insights.
