Someone just gave the five most powerful AI models on earth one single task – predict what Bitcoin does next. The results were not what he expected.
YouTube analyst Jesse Eckel ran the experiment this week, asking Claude Opus 4.7, ChatGPT Pro, Grok Heavy, Gemini DeepThink and Grok 4.3 beta, a model locked behind a $300 per month subscription that most users cannot access, to each predict Bitcoin’s price at 30 days, 6 months and one year out.
Only one model, Gemini DeepThink, predicted Bitcoin would be lower in six months, placing it at $65,000 by October. Every other model predicted either sideways or higher.
Grok Heavy, which checked 893 different sources in under two minutes to compile its answer, predicted $92,000 in six months and $118,000 by April 2027.
ChatGPT Pro was the most cautious of the group – $76,000 in 30 days, $80,000 in six months and $84,900 in one year.
Claude Opus 4.7 sat in the middle – $77,800 in 30 days and $98,000 in one year.
Grok 4.3 beta, an entirely new pre-trained model, not a fine-tune of previous versions, was the outlier. Its one-year prediction was $210,000.
Its six-month prediction alone was $135,000. To be clear, that would mean Bitcoin nearly doubling from today’s price by October 2026.
Eckel noted that Grok 4.3 requires the highest subscription tier on Grok and was only released to early access users last week.

Average all five predictions and something interesting emerges.
Consensus: 30 days $77,000. Six months $91,000. One year $119,000.
That is a 55% move from today’s price by April 2027 and it comes from models that disagree significantly on the path to get there.
Eckel also shared his own Hidden State Engine model – a deep structural state model he says has had an “eerily good track record” over the past two months. Its one-year prediction: $128,000.
Most of these models reject the four-year cycle bear case – the thesis that Bitcoin should hit 30K to 40K lows by October 2026 before recovering.
Only Gemini’s prediction aligns with that view.
Whether AI can reliably predict crypto prices remains genuinely unknown. Eckel himself acknowledged that every model he has ever built has eventually failed. But when five of the most powerful systems on earth are pointed at the same question and four of them say the same thing – that is worth paying attention to.
Bitcoin is currently trading at $76,467, up 1.52% over the last 24 hours.
