Recent releases and blind arena leaderboards have fragmented trader views on text-to-video leadership heading into late October. Kling 3.0, ByteDance Seedance 2.5, Alibaba Happy Horse 1.0, and Google Veo 3.1/Gemini Omni Flash trade top spots across metrics like motion physics, multi-shot continuity, native audio sync, and reference consistency, with no model achieving sustained dominance. OpenAI Sora 2 and Runway Gen-4 updates deliver strong niche results but trail in overall Elo rankings, while Meta, Lightricks LTX, and Tencent entries lag in recent head-to-head tests. This tight competitive field, driven by rapid capability gains rather than any single breakthrough, underpins the closely matched market-implied odds across established labs and emerging players.

Results from the "Rank" column under the "Text-to-Video Arena" Leaderboard tab at https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-video filtered for "Models" will be used to resolve this market.
Note: Models marked “AutoEval” at the applicable check time will not be considered, regardless of whether they display a rank or score.
Models will be ordered primarily by their leaderboard rank at the market’s check time. If two or more models are tied on rank, they will be ordered by which model is listed higher on the leaderboard. If a tie still remains, alphabetical order of company names as listed in this market group will be used as a final tiebreaker (e.g., “Google” would be ranked ahead of “SpaceXAI”). This market will resolve based on the company that occupies first place under this ranking.
The resolution source for this market is the arena.ai Text-to-Video Arena Leaderboard. If this resolution source is unavailable at check time, this market will remain open until the leaderboard comes back online and will resolve based on the first check after it becomes available. If it becomes permanently unavailable, this market will resolve to "Other".
