All LMArena props resolve WITH style control unless otherwise stated, resolves to the next Sonnet Model, I used 5 for clarity, but any # counts

  • Update 2026-02-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For image generation tools: Must be a dedicated diffusion model (like Midjourney/Stable Diffusion), not general tools like GIF creation skills.

  • Update 2026-02-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): This market will resolve based on default settings with style control enabled on LMArena.

  • Update 2026-02-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Creator may resolve the market at 10 PM ET instead of waiting until the official close date if Claude Sonnet 5 is not released within the next hour or two from the time of the comment.

  • Update 2026-02-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Creator will wait until the official close date to resolve the market, rather than resolving early at 10 PM ET on February 3rd.

  • Update 2026-02-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator will defer to @MarryBobinson's preference on how to resolve the "Releases before 3pm Feb 4th" answer (despite the typo "reseases").

  • Update 2026-02-05 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For the "agent swarm or other more sophisticated multi agent scheme" answer: The market will remain open until Sonnet 5 is released to verify if it supports the agent teams feature that was announced with Opus 4.6. Will resolve YES if and when Sonnet 5 supports this feature.

CLARIFICATION: the times are in PST for my markets, as that's where anthropic is

bought Ṁ0 NO

@JoshSnider Resolves no.

thoughts on resolution here? This was announced today with Opus 4.6 https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams

A case could be made for either yes or no: yes bc it's released at/before, no because it was released before sonnet 5, or N/A because it's ambiguous?

@nostream tbh i feel like it was pretty clear that this applied to Sonnet. We can keep this market open until Sonnent comes out, and we can see if it supports the feature. I'm not super educated on this feture so if my interpretation is bad, feel free to correct me

@JeromeHPowell sounds fair. I will resolve yes if and when sonnet 5 supports this feature. I would expect yes but obviously better to confirm. Any objections please comment below.

@nostream sounds great

bought Ṁ10 NO

damn it @Bayesian

@jgyou why so confident?

@JeromeHPowell it's in my Claude app? Literally

@jgyou thats opus?

Did they vibe code their infra? What's going on?

CLARIFICATION: the times are in PST for my markets, as that's where anthropic is

bought Ṁ5 NO

@MarryBobinson how can it reseases? I think that release and reseases are two very different things.

Therefore, it should resolve no.

@Velaris ima say this is an obvious typo

@Velaris the convention on manifold is to resolve according to the obvious intent when intent and literal writing differ

ultimately though up to creator and if you wanna bet on their ultimate decision being NO lmk

@Bayesian I'm planning to resolve it; however @MarryBobinson wants me to

@JeromeHPowell Hopefully, that seems fair. I just don't want to get caught in the crossfire of resolution wars

@JeromeHPowell I was joking.

@MarryBobinson is this before 2pm EST Feb 3? or on before 2pm on the day it is released?

bought Ṁ75 YES

@PeterBarnett im 96% sure it is for today, but @MarryBobinson can clarify

bought Ṁ750 YES
