China’s budget AIs are trouncing ChatGPT and Grok at crypto trading

Chinese artificial intelligence models, specifically DeepSeek and Qwen3 Max, have demonstrated superior performance in a cryptocurrency trading experiment compared to US counterparts like ChatGPT and Grok, according to data from CoinGlass. DeepSeek achieved a positive unrealized return of 9.1%, while Qwen3 Max recorded a 0.5% loss, significantly better than Grok's 1.24% loss and ChatGPT-5's substantial 66% loss. This success is notable because DeepSeek was developed with a training cost of only $5.3 million, vastly less than the estimated billions spent on models like ChatGPT-5. Analysts suggest the performance discrepancy may stem from differences in training data, although factors like prompting techniques could also influence results. Despite the promising results, experts caution that traders should not yet rely on these AI tools for autonomous trading.
