📣 TLDR

Design Arena is the first crowdsourced benchmark for AI-generated design.

We evaluate how models perform on real-world design tasks - frontend, audio, image, video and more - with live, organic users. It’s the first step of our broader mission at Arcada Labs to distill and understand the human experience.

❌ Problem

LLMs can pass bar exams and win IMO gold, but they still generate UIs with white text on a white background.

There’s no standard to measure taste, usability, or aesthetics, and no benchmark means no pressure to improve.
