How the five AIs actually did

The Group Stage of the 2026 World Cup finished today, so it’s time to mark the homework. Back in the launch post five AI models, a deterministic lookup table, and one football fan predicted the same 72 fixtures before a ball was kicked. I’ve been scoring the results on AIWC26 each day as they came in. I’ve got no real opinion on the teams; I’m interested in what the scoring reveals about the models.
