A recent month-long trading experiment tested 8 different AI systems, each with $100,000 in capital. The results are in, and the performance spread is telling. One AI algorithm managed to pull ahead of the pack with a +5.7% return, outpacing several well-known AI platforms in head-to-head performance tracking. What's interesting here isn't just the top performer, but how the broader set of AIs stacked up against each other. Some familiar names in the AI space—including some major players—landed behind. The data suggests real differences exist between these systems when it comes to actual trading execution and decision-making under market conditions. Whether this snapshot reflects sustainable edge or month-to-month variance is another question traders are already debating.
