Hey — Tim Sykes here.
So, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably saw the news…
Nvidia just signed a $7 BILLION deal with Saudi Arabia to power its new AI empire 🤯
We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of chips, including their latest Grace Blackwell supercomputer.
This isn’t hype—this is real money chasing real AI infrastructure.
And get this… Nvidia earnings are coming up fast.
I’ve seen this setup before. And I’m telling you—it’s giving me flashbacks to the early days of the AI boom.
That’s why I dropped everything to shoot this new VSL for you.
Because I think Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is getting ready to ignite what I’m calling the AI 2.0 catalyst.
It could be huge.
And no—this isn’t about blindly buying Nvidia.
This is about using my new AI forecasting tool—XGPT—to spot the exact tickers that could pop during this next wave.
We’re talking high-confidence, one-day profit windows. The kind that don’t wait around.
🎯 Click here to watch the video and get the free ticker XGPT just flagged.
I’ll walk you through the story, what I believe is coming next, and how to use AI to trade AI.
Look, I’ve helped mentor over 40 millionaire traders. I’ve made $7.9M trading.
And even I wish I had this tool sooner.
But now it’s your turn.
See you inside,
Tim
The Best AI for Picking Stocks, Ranked by Performance
Written by Thomas Hughes. Published 10/22/2025.
Key Points
- Seven AI models and 30 humans picked one unique stock under identical rules, aiming for the highest return on a $1,000 investment over three months.
- ChatGPT selected the top-performing stock of all the AI picks, while other AI stock choices delivered mixed results.
- In the end, a human pick outperformed all others.
Ever wonder which AI model is the best at picking stocks? So did the MarketBeat team. They organized a lighthearted contest to test several leading models — and the results may surprise you.
Below we review the seven AI models, the stocks they picked, and how those picks performed.
AI Stock Picking Contest Parameters
Buy alert: Smashing through all-time highs (Ad)
An MIT roboticist just called Elon Musk's humanoid robot ambitions "pure fantasy thinking" — arguing that the future of robotics lies in specialized, purpose-built machines, not human lookalikes. He predicts that billions invested in humanoid designs like Tesla's Optimus will eventually "disappear." That's why Eric Fry is sounding the alarm on Tesla and pointing investors toward a lesser-known robotics company already scaling real-world machines — with a $23 billion backlog and a stock that's outperformed Tesla by 25x this year.
Click here to see Eric Fry's full analysis and the name of this robotics stockSeven popular AI models—ChatGPT, ChatGPT Deep Research, Claude Opus, Claude Sonnet, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity—and 30 humans were asked to submit stock picks under the same rules, providing a broad comparison for the AI choices.
The rules of the contest were simple:
- Choose one stock listed on NYSE, NASDAQ, TSE, or LON only.
- Exclude ETFs, crypto, and mutual funds.
- Avoid duplicate picks (i.e., you cannot pick stocks that other participants have already chosen).
- Select the stock you believe will deliver the greatest percentage gain on a $1,000 investment between the market close on July 21 and the market close on October 21.
1. ChatGPT: SoundHound's 55.7% Gain
ChatGPT, the original model that helped launch the recent AI wave, placed 7th overall and was the top-performing AI model.
What sets ChatGPT apart is its ability to provide more coherent, conversational output and maintain context over a longer exchange.
For the contest, ChatGPT chose SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN), which gained 55.7% during the period, driven by enthusiasm for real-world AI applications and new commercial partnerships. SoundHound is a leader in voice-actuated AI and a speech-to-meaning approach that enables faster, more accurate translations and conversational interfaces.
2. Claude Sonnet: ASTS Space Mobile's 38.7% Gain
Claude Sonnet, known for its balanced mix of conversational ability, reasoning, and coding skills, picked ASTS Space Mobile (NASDAQ: ASTS), which rose 38.7% during the contest.
Claude Sonnet finished second among AI models and 13th overall.
ASTS is notable for its position in the mobile industry and a rapidly expanding satellite network. It forecasts near-complete coverage of key Northern Hemisphere markets within the next two years and a fast revenue ramp that began this quarter.
The analyst consensus predicts a quadruple-digit year-over-year revenue gain, with growth accelerating over the next several quarters and remaining at a high pace thereafter. Profitability is expected by 2027, and these forecasts may be conservative.
3. ChatGPT Deep Research: Larimar Therapeutics' 31.9% Gain
ChatGPT Deep Research is a variation of ChatGPT that delivers a more extensive, research-style response.
This model finished third among AI entries and 16th overall.
It selected Larimar Therapeutics (NASDAQ: LRMR), which rose 31.9% over the trial period.
Larimar is a clinical-stage biopharma with several upcoming catalysts, including results from a Phase III study, new research initiatives, and an expected BLA application with potential accelerated approvals. The analyst consensus forecasts more than 300% upside, indicating strong optimism that the stock could move higher.
4. Perplexity: Regencell Biosciences' 12.2% Gain
Perplexity is known for producing search-engine-like answers.
It synthesizes web content and provides source context alongside its responses.
Perplexity finished fourth among AI entries and 21st overall, selecting Regencell Biosciences (NASDAQ: RGC), which gained 12.2% during the period.
Regencell is attempting to commercialize traditional Chinese medicine therapies for ADHD and autism but has minimal market support. The single analyst tracked by MarketBeat rates the stock a Sell, institutions own less than 0.5% of the shares, and there are no clear catalysts on the horizon.
5. Gemini: Super Micro Computers' 6.5% Gain
Google's Gemini, which emphasizes multi-modality and integration with Google's ecosystem, finished fifth among AI models and 23rd overall.
Gemini chose Super Micro Computers (NASDAQ: SMCI), which gained 6.5% during the contest.
Super Micro is well-positioned to benefit from an AI-driven surge in demand for GPU servers, but that potential has not yet fully materialized in its financials. The stock has struggled with market confidence following last year's financial issues, though an upcoming earnings report may provide more clarity.
Major AI players have announced hundreds of billions of dollars in data center projects planned over the next three to five years, and SMCI servers are expected to play a role in those builds.
6. Claude Opus: Replimune's 34.3% Loss
Claude Opus, valued for its reasoning, multimodality, and contextual awareness, made a riskier pick: Replimune Group (NASDAQ: REPL).
Replimune fell more than 34%, placing Claude Opus sixth among AI entries and third-to-last overall.
Replimune develops oncolytic therapies for cancer, but its near-term approval outlook is unclear after a recent BLA submission was denied and later resubmitted. Market sentiment has weakened.
Analyst sentiment has shifted from Buy to Reduce, and price target cuts have pressured the stock lower.
7. Grok: MoonLake Immunotherapies' 82.9% Loss
Grok, known for its personality and edgy tone, uses real-time data from the X platform in its responses.
It finished last among the AI models (and overall), after picking MoonLake Immunotherapies (NASDAQ: MLTX), which plunged about 82.9%.
MoonLake, which develops immunotherapies for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, released mixed trial results on Sept. 29 that set back its research program. The market reacted with downgrades and price-target reductions, sending the stock into the single-digit dollar range.
The Real Winner: A Human
While AI can be effective at picking stocks, results vary, and ultimately a human selected the contest's top performer: Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ: HUT).
Shares of the Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing company Hut 8 soared 120.15% during the contest period.
The outcome underscores a key point: AI is a powerful tool, but it hasn't yet replaced human instinct, research, and experience in stock picking.
