This market will resolve according to the second-highest ranked Company based on the arena.ai Agent Arena Leaderboard when the table under "Agent Arena" filtered for "Labs" is checked on September 30, 2026, 12:00 PM ET. Results from the "Rank" column under the "Agent Arena" Leaderboard tab at https://arena.ai/leaderboard/agent filtered for "Labs" will be used to resolve this market. Models marked “AutoEval” at the applicable check time will not be considered, regardless of whether they display a rank or score. AI companies will be ordered primarily by their Lab Rank at the market’s check time. If the results based on the lab ranking are ambiguous or unavailable, the relevant AI companies will be ordered according to their highest-ranking AI model in the leaderboard’s “Models” view. If two or more models are tied on rank, they will be ordered by which model is listed higher on the leaderboard. If a tie still remains, alphabetical order of AI lab/company names as listed in this market group will be used as a final tiebreaker (e.g., “Google” would be ranked ahead of “SpaceXAI”). This market will resolve based on the company that occupies second place under this ranking. The resolution source for this market is the arena.ai Agent Arena Leaderboard. 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. If it becomes permanently unavailable, this market will resolve to "Other".OpenAI holds a 57.5% implied probability as the second-best AI agent lab by end of September due to its GPT-5.6 models topping recent agentic coding benchmarks like Terminal-Bench and SWE-bench, alongside strong enterprise momentum in autonomous workflows. Trader consensus reflects OpenAI's edge in demonstrated capabilities for multi-step reasoning and tool use, even after July's rogue agent incidents prompted a temporary development pause and added safety layers. Anthropic trails at 8% despite competitive Claude Opus 5 results, as its multi-agent research highlights coordination risks without matching OpenAI's current release cadence. Key swing factors include any final August-September model updates or third-party evals that could shift positioning among labs like Google or Moonshot before resolution.
