A few thoughts on the $META AI model's progress, because I think it is significant. • • 1. It does seem that $META has now leapfrogged $GOOGL in model quality when it comes to Muse 1.2 for many use cases, which is very surprising given the timeframe. • • 2. This is still the "Muse Spark" family of models; $META already told us that bigger and more capable models (Watermelon) are coming. Given Muse Spark 1.2's performance already, the Watermelon family should be in the Fable category, which is impressive. • • 3. It does seem like $META is finally on a product scaling velocity curve (so the scaling foundations of their lab are set after 1 year of overhaul). And the shipping velocity is very good (3 releases in 4 months). • • 4. Given the recent rumored price hike of DeepSeek (if you use DeepSeek directly), it is clear that having enough compute to serve customers is critical. It doesn't help you if you have a great model, but most can't use it. $META is one of the few companies with compute capabilities comparable to, if not larger than, those of Anthropic or OpenAI.

What is this event about?
This market will resolve according to the third-highest ranked Company based on the arena.ai Text Arena (Overall) (Style Control On) when the table under the "Leaderboard" tab filtered for "Labs" is checked on August 31, 2026, 12:00 PM ET.
Results from the "Lab Rank" column under the "Text Arena | Overall" Leaderboard tab at https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text/overall?rankBy=labs with style control on (Adjustments: Style Control) and filtered for "Labs" will be used to resolve this market.
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 their Arena score, including any underlying, unrounded, granular values reflected in the data below 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., if the two models are tied by exact arena score, “Google” would be ranked ahead of “SpaceXAI”). This market will resolve based on the company that occupies third place under this ranking.
The resolution source for this market is the arena.ai Text Arena (Overall). 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".
