We’re excited to introduce Intelligence.
If you’re building frontier models or working on hard-to-verify evaluations, we’d love to talk.
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.

BREAKING: FLUX 3 Max by @fal lands at #6 in Video and Image-to-Video on Design Arena, debuting in the top 10 for both leaderboards.
This is the highest fal model yet on the Video leaderboard. This also places @fal's new model alongside leading video models from @Alibaba_Wan, @bfl_ai, and @GoogleDeepMind.
Congrats to the @fal team on the launch!

BREAKING: HeyGen Video 1.0 (1080p, ultraquality) by @HeyGen, a post-trained model on MiniMax H3 by @MiniMax_AI, ranks #3 on both Design Arena's Video and Image to Video leaderboards, making HeyGen the #2 Video lab overall!
In Video, HeyGen Video 1.0 sits just behind Gemini Omni Flash by @GoogleDeepMind and ahead of Wan 3.0 by @Alibaba_Wan. In Image to Video, it also sits just behind MiniMax H3 Max by @MiniMax_AI, while generating faster than 71% of models.
Congrats to the @HeyGen team!

BREAKING: MiniMax M3.1 Flash by @MiniMax_AI lands at #26 of 183 on Design Arena's Overall Frontend leaderboard, a 29-position jump over MiniMax M3 at #55!
MiniMax M3.1 Flash sits just behind Grok 4.6 by @SpaceXSI and edges out Claude Opus 4.6 by @AnthropicAI and Gemini 3.6 Flash by @GoogleDeepMind. On Overall Frontend tasks, MiniMax M3.1 Flash wins most often on vaguer prompts, filling in the gaps with fun, complete games that have progression and levels, even when the user didn't ask for them.
Congrats to the @MiniMax_AI team!

We found that open-weight models often resemble @AnthropicAI model outputs' style vectors
This is not true for @Zai_org and later @Kimi_Moonshot models
We clustered models purely by how their websites look (cosine similarity on the style vectors, then hierarchical clustering). Models whose websites look alike end up on nearby branches.
The labs sorted themselves out:
• every GPT-5.6 and GPT-6 model on one branch
• Gemini 3.5 → 3.8 Flash in a tight chain
• all three Muse Spark models together

Every model has a distinct style. We found it.
We used 64,000+ generated websites to calculate one "style" vector per model.
@OpenAI: cream + italic serif
@AnthropicAI: dark, glowing, purple
@GoogleDeepMind: navy dashboards with sidebars
@AIatMeta: loud magazine blocks
On the left of each row, we overlay the 40 pages of that model that is most similar to the style we find.

BREAKING: P-Video-2-Pro (Cost) by @PrunaAI lands on the Pareto frontier for Preference vs Price in both Video and Image to Video on Design Arena.
P-Video-2-Pro (Cost) is 3× cheaper than P-Video-2-Pro (Quality) at only $0.125 per 5-second video, while having an average generation time of ~10 seconds, nearly 10× faster than the average video model.
Congratulations to the @PrunaAI team on this achievement!

BREAKING: Ideogram 4.5 by @ideogram_ai places 15th in Image Editing with an Elo of 1250.
This puts the model in the same performance band as MAI-Image-2.6 by @MicrosoftAI and Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview by @GoogleDeepMind. The model performs particularly well with typography edits, such as modifying text in infographics.
Congratulations to the @ideogram_ai team on the launch!

BREAKING: Recraft V4.1 Flash by @recraftai is the fastest image model yet on Design Arena.
With an average generation time of just 1.8 seconds, 16× faster than the average model, it overtakes P-Image by @PrunaAI to claim the top spot for speed and lands on the Image Pareto frontier for Preference vs Speed.
Congratulations to the @recraftai team on this achievement!

It turns out, 50% of @OpenAI GPT-6 Astra's driving games go left when the user steers right.
We looked at thousands of user-created games on @DesignArena to find the common failure cases in web-based game dev.
It turns out, the details matter.
Let's say there's a boat floating on the water. Is the code animating the boat in sync with the waves?
Or let's say we have to place trees on a mountain. Should the trees be allowed to spawn on a cliff? Or a mountain peak? Or be penalized for floating above the ground height grid?
Find this analysis of where the models fall short of making a great game, and more, in our new video.
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.

We are close to the entire frontier being open.

BREAKING: GPT‑Image‑2.5 takes the top two spots on Image Editing Arena!
Sunburst debuts in 1st place with an Elo of 1386, followed by Flare in 2nd with 1360.
@OpenAI now holds all three top positions - and has held the top position since GPT‑Image‑2 launched in April.
GPT‑Image‑2.5 also generates edits up to 6.2× faster than its predecessor, establishing a new Pareto frontier for Speed vs. Preference.
Huge congratulations to the team!
We’re entering the era of faster and affordable models at the highest quality.
BREAKING: Muse Spark 1.3 (xhigh) takes 1st overall on Website Arena with an Elo of 1362!
This is a jump of 5 positions from Muse Spark 1.2, establishing a new Pareto frontier for Speed and Price.
Only a month after the release of Muse Spark 1.2, @AIatMeta has topped this category on Design Arena.
Note: GPT-6 Astra is still pending final results.
Congrats to the @Meta team!

BREAKING: GPT-6 Astra (xhigh) takes #1 on Design Arena’s 3D Design leaderboard with an Elo of 1495.
It leads Kimi K3 by 65 points and improves 79 points over GPT-5.6 Sol (xhigh), OpenAI’s previous top-performing model.
A decisive new SOTA for 3D generation. Congratulations to the @OpenAI team!

August was a busy month for video generation.
MiniMax H3 Max, post-trained by @fal, took the top spot on Image-to-Video, building on the strength of MiniMax H3 by @MiniMax_AI.
Wan 3.0 by @AlibabaGroup took 3rd overall, a 12-position leap from Wan 2.7.
We also saw @bfl_ai debut its first video model, FLUX 3 Video, with a strong overall performance.
These releases pushed more than just quality. H3 Max cut generation time by 46x compared to H3 in our testing, while Omni 1.1 by @GoogleDeepMind introduced cheaper, faster drafts - redefining the SOTA baseline across quality, speed, cost, and control.
Four August releases now sit in the top 11, including two of the top three.
Here’s where the Image-to-Video leaderboard stands heading into September:

BREAKING: MiniMax H3 Max sets the new Pareto Frontier for video generation, nearly 50x faster than the base model.
This model is post-trained by @fal on @MiniMax_AI H3, and it's in a league of its own: no other Image to Video model on the arena delivers higher preference at a lower generation time.
Its Image-to-Video generation time is just 6.4 seconds, 18x faster than average, and its Text-to-Video generation time is just 4.7 seconds, 24x faster than the average.
Huge congratulations to the @fal team on this release!

BREAKING: GLM-5.3 Flash by @Zai_org debuts at 6th overall on Design Arena with a preliminary Elo of 1343.
This places the MIT-licensed, natively multimodal model in the same performance band as GLM-5.3 - and ahead of Claude Fable 5 and Muse Spark 1.2.
At $0.15/1M input tokens and $0.50/1M output tokens, it pairs strong performance with highly competitive pricing.
Stay tuned for its performance across our agentic and multimodal evaluations!
Congratulations to the @Zai_org team!
