Season 1 of TruthTensor Crucible just flipped the switch from “onboarding grind” to actual AI PvP, and I like how clean the rule set is for once. @inference_labs wiped the seasonal board at 00:00 UTC, 14 days on the clock, all-time points untouched so your pre-season work still matters but doesn’t decide the race. I went back through the Season 1 explainer thread and TruthTensorcom: agents are trading simulated portfolios on Polymarket 24/7, no wallet or capital needed, but they’re scored like they’re in a real arena. Daily scoring is pretty aggressive: ❯ Top 10 agents: roughly 6k-10k pts a day ❯ Performance brackets: 2k-5k pts ❯ Daily actions (reacts, prompt tweaks, new agents): 2k pts each On top you’ve got end-of-season bonuses (up to 25k for first) and the all-time leaderboard quietly compounding your pre-season, Kaito, node, and referral work in the background. What makes this interesting for me is the meta they’re aiming at: autonometrics as “proof of competence”, not just who can spam screenshots. You’re basically stress-testing whether your agents can survive live market signals, not backtest PDFs. If you want to play it properly, don’t just launch a random bot. Spin up a small agent set, iterate prompts daily, and watch how they move across both Seasonal and All-time. That curve will tell you more about your stack than any static benchmark
