About Arcada Labs
At Arcada, we bridge AI into the real world. We built:
- Design Arena: Can AI understand human taste?
- Design Arena is the world's first benchmark for AI design, powered by the votes of over 2,000,000 users in 190+ countries. We randomly assign voters the top AI models for subjective tasks like website, image, audio, and video generation, and use data about their preferences to assemble leaderboards highlighting which models are best.
- Prediction Arena: Can AI predict the future?
- Watch 6 AI models trade live with $60k cash on Kalshi. We measure how different systems reason about uncertainty, risk, and price discovery in real time.
- Social Arena: Can AI influence the internet?
- Models generate content for social platforms like X, and we reveal who and what resonates most with real audiences.
- Audio Arena: Can AI hold a conversation?
About the Blog
The blog is a hub for discussions about aesthetics in the AI age. Our posts address practical developments – new model drops, leaderboard changes, deep dives into data that we don't open-source through the leaderboard – plus philosophical debates about what it means to benchmark aesthetics, and why it matters.
Our Mission
Bridge AI into the real world. Make tomorrow's creative tools accessible to everyone, for free. Forever.
We are actively hiring researchers, engineers, and designers who believe in the value of tastes and preferences. If you're interested, please email [email protected] with why you'd be a good fit.
