# Which companies will have a top-ranked AI model this year?

DataSnack's model puts this at 11% seven days from now (10 Nov 2026); the market's number (Kalshi) is 11%. It has no graded forecasts yet; the first is graded on 12 Nov 2026.

## DataSnack's read

**Closed flagships keep raising the bar, leaving challengers short of a top rank**

The market puts Meta and OpenAI at 11% each, so no lab is seen as a clear leader. The model's case rests on Meta's chance partly reversing last week's move, giving 10% in seven days; the next closed release would test it.

## The numbers

- The market's number (Kalshi) now: 11% ([the market](https://kalshi.com/markets/kxtopai))
- DataSnack's model, seven days from now: 11%
- The market closes: 1 Jan 2027
- How it resolves: If OpenAI has a #1 ranked AI model before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
- Record: It has no graded forecasts yet; the first is graded on 12 Nov 2026.
- Replay on the last 60 days: off by 3.5 points against 3.8 points for standing still; closer on 38 of 60 days
- Fitted on 294 days of history

## How the model works

Meta's chance tends to partly reverse its last week's move, so the model reads the market's own seven-day change with a negative coefficient. Nothing in the ranked inputs gives a direct reason to expect a Meta model to take #1 soon.

- About -0.353 in log-odds of last week's move in the market's chance for Meta reverses over the next week. DataSnack's author expected -0.4 in log-odds; the data say -0.353 in log-odds ± 0.11. A rough rule.
