As more AI models challenge completing Pokémon games, Gemini 2.5 Pro recently independently completed the first-generation Pokémon game. Google's current CEO Sundar Pichai and DeepMind's head Demis Hassabis even simultaneously tweeted to celebrate this moment. Additionally, Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI recently independently obtained two Pokémon Red gym badges, with more large models becoming "Pokémon fans". However, letting AI play "Pokémon" is more significant than letting AI "play chess".
Moravec's paradox, proposed by Moravec in the 1980s, believed that "tasks humans find easy are actually more difficult for artificial intelligence, and vice versa" - "it's relatively easy to make computers play chess like adults, but giving them the perception and action capabilities of a one-year-old child is quite difficult, even impossible".
The AI currently "independently" challenging games seems to be gradually developing its own perception and action capabilities. Therefore, the inability of Crypto AI to incorporate "market sentiment intuition" in trading may also be breached at some point in the future. The recent popularity of InfoFi and concepts like MCP have also brought more possibilities for AI Agents. What AI Agents can be hyped in the market right now?
Axelrod
Axelrod is the flagship AI agent of AIxVC, designed to manage capital like a hedge fund. It uses AI technology to adapt to user risk preferences, coordinate with other agents, and conduct on-chain transactions, aiming to eliminate emotional bias in investments. It can dynamically adjust investment strategies based on individual user risk preferences and collaborate with other AI agents like Gigabrain and Memo to optimize trading strategies. Currently, it supports Base and Solana
Its token $AXR is used to unlock advanced features, reduce fees, customize strategies, governance, and staking rewards. Its token's peak market cap was $18 million, currently valued at $16 million.
Arbusai
Arbusai is an AI-driven market intelligence platform focused on the Web3 ecosystem, providing real-time data infrastructure for AI/DeFAI agents and dApps. It offers tools like the Arbus terminal for research, trend analysis, sentiment tracking, and project discovery, helping users identify investment opportunities.
It collaborates with multiple Web3 projects, including lunarcrush.com, virtuals.io, thirdweb.com, etc. It has also partnered with Chiliz to provide a dedicated data dashboard for the Chiliz ecosystem. Like many InfoFi projects, collaborating with AI Agents can make "data intelligence" more democratized by utilizing social signals.
Its token ARBUS peaked at a market cap of $11 million, currently valued at $9 million.
Avo
AVO is a marketplace for trading AI Agents, including wallet tracking, institutional copy trading, staking, airdrop hunting, and other types of AI Agents. Currently, the platform mainly sells on-chain trading strategies.
Users can use Avo's protection to avoid being arbitraged based on their risk tolerance and choose whether to participate in low-liquidity or unlocked high-risk tokens.
AVO briefly exceeded $6 million in market cap on May 30 after Solana founder Toly retweeted a demo video, and has since pulled back to $2 million.
BasisOS
BasisOS is a decentralized protocol that builds an AI-managed cross-chain base trading insurance vault, focusing on exotic assets on Hyperliquid. It optimizes returns through basic trading strategies and uses AI for autonomous market monitoring and decision-making.
