Text Shot: What began as a PhD research experiment to compare AI language models has grown over time into something broader, shaped by the people who use it. A global community of millions brought real-world prompts, expert judgment, new modalities, and diverse ways of working with AI. What started as an academic research project at UC Berkeley evolved into a global platform for evaluating how AI actually performs in practice. We’re excited to share today our new look and feel to match our scientific mission: to measure and advance the frontier of AI for real-world use. That evolution is why we are now Arena. Now available at: arena.ai.
