> Grok ended up performing the best while DeepSeek came close to second. Almost all the models had a tech-heavy portfolio which led them to do well. Gemini ended up in last place since it was the only one that had a large portfolio of non-tech stocks.

I'm not an investor or researcher, but this triggers my spidey sense... it seems to imply they aren't measuring what they think they are.

A more sound approach would have been to do a monte carlo simulation where you have 100 portfolios of each model and look at average performance.

indeed, and also a "model" does not mean anything per se, you have hundreds of different prompts, you can layer agents on top, you can use temperature that will lead to different outcomes. The number of dimensions to explore is huge.
