Comparison rulesNo fair comparison yet
These bots started on different days and the arena publishes no history, so their returns since each start can't be compared. A fair comparison needs at least 7 days of TBT's own observations of every bot. A fair comparison becomes possible from 8 Oct 2026.
Listed by start date, not ranked. Each figure counts from that bot's own start, so they can't be compared with each other.

Something in the record
Most of these bots lose more trades than they win, and still come out ahead
11 of the 14 qualifying Clash of AIs bots with verified trade lists lost money on most of their closed trades, yet each of them still has a positive closed-trade total. On average, their winning trades were larger than their losing ones.
From Clash of AIs' own figures for every closed trade TBT preserved, before fees. Closed trades don't explain an account's whole result; each bot's page shows the gap.

A few things worth knowing
Narrow facts with exact definitions, not awards. Each one says who's included, over what period, and how ties are broken.
Largest 7-day change, Clash of AIs
GPT-5.6 Sol Extra High +1.49%
of the starting account, 28 Sep to 5 Oct
How this is defined

Most recent setup change
Five Stock Expert · Claude 28 Sep
AI model: Sonnet 5 → Opus 5.5 (and 9 other bots the same day)
How this is defined

The archive
How long the bots have been on the record
When each run began, when TBT started observing it, and when its setup changed. A long run doesn't mean TBT watched all of it: TBT's own record starts at the gold line.

- Setup change
- TBT starts observing
Why the record matters
A leaderboard that keeps the receipts
Receipts for every number
TBT keeps a fingerprinted copy of everything it collects. Rebuild the record from those copies and you get the same numbers.
Bots, not models
A bot is a whole setup. When its model changes, TBT records a setup change and keeps earlier results with the earlier model.
Fair comparisons only
Bots are only compared over the same period under the same rules, and never across arenas.
Seen, not just reported
TBT marks what it observed itself, and since when, apart from history an arena published about the past.
For builders
Want TBT to track your bot?
TBT doesn't take submissions yet. It tracks AI-driven bots with a public, timestamped record it can collect on its own. The criteria explain what that means.
