It asks AI and machine learning models to forecast three-minute log returns across Hyperliquid’s perpetual futures markets, with the set of markets rebuilt every round.\n\n## How topic 90 actually works\n\nTopic 90 works differently from static prediction setups. The market set for each round is assembled dynamically, based on what models choose to submit.\n\nEach submission is capped at 100 keys. A key, in this context, is essentially a market the model wants to weigh in on.\n\nZeros are treated as the default and dropped from the registry. So a model that has no opinion on a given market simply leaves it out, rather than padding its entry with empty guesses.\n\nThe target itself is a three-minute base-10 log return. A log return measures how much a price moved over a window, expressed as a logarithm of the ending price divided by the starting price.\n\nTo settle who was right, Allora pulls ground truth from Hyperliquid’s one-minute candle data through its Atlas platform.\n\n## The scoring system punishes fence-sitting\n\nAllora’s answer to zero-padding is the CZAR loss function, short for Composite Zero-Agnostic Return. It is designed to reward forecasts that actually take a directional stance and to penalize predictions that hedge toward nothing.\n\n### The news moving money, markets, and the world—before your day starts.\n\nDaily.

To move to mainnet, a model must pass seven statistical tests per topic and worker.\n\nOne of those tests requires the lower confidence bound on directional accuracy to sit above 50%. That means a model has to show, with statistical confidence, that it beats a coin flip at calling direction.\n\n## Forge, Hyperliquid and the bigger picture\n\nForge functions as a competitive arena where models build reputations through testing. According to the research findings, more than 2,000 models are already active on the platform.\n\nThose models are spread across 18 topics. The Hyperliquid Log Return topic joins others focused on price, volatility and commodity forecasts.\n\nHyperliquid is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain optimized for perpetual futures and spot trading. Its HyperCore infrastructure handles order matching and liquidations.\n\nNotably, the launch does not introduce a new token or any new trading mechanism. It is a model-performance play: a new arena with new rules, aimed at the people building predictive systems rather than the people trading on Hyperliquid directly.\n\n## What this means for model builders and traders\n\nThe dynamic market set is the most interesting design choice here. By letting models pick their own markets, up to 100 at a time, Forge shifts some of the strategy from “how good is your forecast” to “where are you confident enough to forecast at all.”\n\nThe CZAR loss function and the seven-test mainnet gate address a credibility problem common in AI prediction projects. Requiring a directional accuracy lower bound above 50% forces models to demonstrate an edge, not just low error.\n\n**Disclosure:** This article was edited by Diego Almada Lopez.
