The 32 teams qualifying for the World Cup have been confirmed, and the results of the 'AI World Cup Predictor Challenge' involving 12 leading AI models were announced. Tencent HunYuan led with a score of 29 out of 32, followed by MiniMax and iFlytek Spark, each scoring 28 out of 32. DeepSeek, Zhipu AI, and Lenovo Tianxi AI each achieved 27 out of 32. The models showed strong consensus on traditional powerhouses, with key differentiators emerging in assessments of borderline qualifiers like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cape Verde, DR Congo, and Ghana, and predictions regarding the eliminations of Iran, South Korea, and Uruguay. The results indicate AI models can achieve high accuracy in large-sample predictions, but discrepancies become pronounced in marginal qualification scenarios, underdog groups, and nuanced match outcomes.
