Design Arena
A crowdsourced human-preference benchmark where top AI models receive identical design/frontend prompts and users vote head-to-head on the anonymized outputs, producing a Bradley-Terry (Elo) ranking of design taste across categories like websites, UI components, games, and data visualization.
What this benchmark measures
A crowdsourced human-preference benchmark where top AI models receive identical design/frontend prompts and users vote head-to-head on the anonymized outputs, producing a Bradley-Terry (Elo) ranking of design taste across categories like websites, UI components, games, and data visualization.
Rows on this page are sourced from public benchmark artifacts, leaderboard exports, or source-linked model reports. Each row keeps benchmark version, source model name, and available run details attached to the score.
The metric shown here is Elo. It should be interpreted within Design Arena, not compared as part of a site-wide ranking.
Frequently asked
What is Design Arena?
A crowdsourced human-preference benchmark where top AI models receive identical design/frontend prompts and users vote head-to-head on the anonymized outputs, producing a Bradley-Terry (Elo) ranking of design taste across categories like websites, UI components, games, and data visualization. It is a chat preference benchmark measured by Elo.
What does Elo mean on Design Arena?
Design Arena reports Elo; higher is better. Scores are shown only within Design Arena and are never averaged with other benchmarks.
What is the top reported Design Arena score?
Claude Opus 4.6 has the top reported score on Design Arena: 1344 (Elo).
Why do Design Arena scores differ across runs?
Harness, scaffold, reasoning effort, and prompt setup change results, so two runs of the same model can differ. evals.report keeps each score with its run context so the differences stay visible.
Does evals.report rank models across benchmarks?
No. Design Arena scores are shown within their own metric; evals.report never combines benchmarks into a composite ranking or a single "best model".
