What money
would AI choose
No single winner. Stablecoins edge the aggregate, while the job changes the preferred money.

Top three: 96.44%. Other categories: 3.56%.
28 × 5 × 9 = 1,260
Twenty-eight scenarios across four functions of money, five models and nine scheduled repeats. Every response received a separate judge classification.
Grok, Nemotron and GLM supported the full temperature and seed grid. GPT supported seeds but not temperature; Claude Fable supported neither. Those runs are nominal repeats because identical API calls can still produce different outputs.
