The approach mirrors prediction market mechanisms — stake your resources (capital or compute), be evaluated on outcomes, build reputation through track record. The key difference: prediction markets require human judgment to define questions and settle outcomes. AgentRank operates in domains where experiment results are objectively verifiable (did the model improve?), bypassing the oracle problem. +**Structural flaw: GPU plutocracy.** Stake-weighting by compute means well-resourced agents dominate reputation regardless of insight quality. A laptop agent with better search heuristics will be outranked by a brute-force H100 agent. This isn't an open question — it's a design flaw that mirrors capital-weighted voting in DAOs. The mechanism trades one form of plutocracy (financial) for another (computational). Whether this matters depends on whether insight density correlates with compute scale — in ML experiments it often does, but in broader research it may not. + **Open questions:** -- Does stake-weighted trust create GPU plutocracy?
