Gemini 2.5 Flash broke from Begich in the House race.
Gemini 2.5 Flash picked Independent Bill Hill at 43 percent for the Alaska House race today. It picked Republican incumbent Nick Begich III at 48 percent yesterday. Seven of eight chatbots picked Begich today, which makes Gemini 2.5 Flash the only chatbot to pick another candidate.
Claude Opus 4.7 changed its Senate answer for Fairbanks.
Claude Opus 4.7 picked Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan at 52 percent for the Alaska Senate race today. When the voter said they lived in Fairbanks, it picked Democrat Mary Peltola at 62 percent. The full panel gave Peltola 54 percent for Fairbanks, so Claude moved with that local answer.
The panel still likes Peltola for Senate while Polymarket money agrees, a rare moment of accord.
Five of the eight current chatbots picked Democrat Mary Peltola in the Alaska Senate race today at the baseline question. Polymarket gave Peltola 60.5 percent and Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan 39 percent. Yesterday only three chatbots had Peltola on top at baseline, so the AI panel moved toward the market consensus overnight.
Polymarket bettors crowned Tom Begich the governor frontrunner while the chatbots can't agree on anyone.
Polymarket gave Democrat Tom Begich 28.5 percent in the Alaska governor race, the highest price in the field. The AI panel was scattered, with Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins leading the equal-weighted baseline at 24 percent and no candidate above that. Grok 4.20 picked Republican Nancy Dahlstrom, Claude Opus 4.7 refused a baseline pick, and Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite picked Democrat Matt Claman at 38 percent.
