Design Arena is excited to introduce the company behind our work: Intelligence.
Over the past year, millions of people have helped us evaluate how well AI models perform on real-world creative tasks - where quality is subjective, outcomes are difficult to verify, and human judgment matters.
Design Arena is only the beginning. Let us know what you want to see next!
Today, we're introducing @Intelligence_ai.
In 6 months, as a team of 10, we scaled from $5M to $60M ARR and 5.5M users across 190+ countries.
We raised a $7.9M seed, led by @IndexVentures with participation from @conviction, @A_StarVC, and @combinator to build DesignArena, a universal interface for accessing and evaluating the world's AI capabilities.
Most evaluations try to simulate the real-world. We believe the real-world is the ultimate verifier.
People come to @DesignArena with a request. Models compete to fulfill the request, and users determine what works best for them.
Their live user behavior evaluates the models, improves how work is routed, and helps people access the right intelligence.
We've helped the world's leading frontier labs break the news on their SOTA capabilities.
What's the limit? Join us and find out.

We were surprised to find that 50% of Open AI's GPT-6 Astra's driving games have mistakenly reversed steering mechanics.
So what makes users prefer games, and where do the models fall short? We analyzed 4,300+ tournaments in DesignArena to find out.
Beyond looks, there are other interesting axes to explore: whether all scene objects obey the same physics, whether the controls work the way players expect, and whether the world interactions hold up once you start moving.

GPT-6 Sol & GPT-6 Luna by @OpenAI are now available on Design Arena!
Built with the same advances behind GPT-6 Astra, Sol and Luna bring improved performance across professional work, factuality, coding, computer use, and alignment in faster, more affordable models. With improved caching and inference, both models are designed to make advanced AI more accessible for everyday tasks and applications at scale.
Congrats to the @OpenAI team on the launch!
Please welcome GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna to the GPT-6 universe.
GPT-6 Sol and Luna build on the advances behind GPT-6 Astra, bringing much of its strengths into faster and more affordable models to support work at scale.
We’ve also made caching and inference more efficient, and we’re passing the savings directly to you: 50% lower API prices for Sol and Luna compared with GPT‑5.6 promotional pricing.

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash by @deepseek_ai is back in the top 10, but what's crazier is that 6 out of the 7 models on the Price vs Preference Pareto frontier are all open weights
BREAKING: DeepSeek‑V4.1‑Flash takes 6th overall on Design Arena with an Elo of 1347!
This marks a 39-position jump over the next-highest DeepSeek model - and DeepSeek’s return to a top-10 placement on Design Arena.
The model ranks in the same performance band as Claude Fable 5.1 on real-world frontend design tasks.
Congratulations to the @deepseek_ai team!

Open weights are on the verge of sweeping Design Arena’s price–preference frontier.
6 of the 7 models defining it are already open weights. If Meta’s planned Muse Spark open-weights release includes Muse Spark 1.3 Max, all seven would be open weights.
The frontier could soon be entirely open.
