Design Arena

BREAKING: @AnthropicAI models overwhelmingly dominate design-centric coding tasks, as of March 2026. Opus 4.6 places first across Web Development (HTML & React & Full-Stack), in both one-shot and multi-turn categories. Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 place first in mobile development (React Native and Android). Opus 4.6 places first on 3D Design, Game Dev, and Data Viz. Gemini 3.1 by @GoogleDeepMind takes first place on SVG design. This title was previously held by @QuiverAI (see our change log). This map looked very different just 2 months ago. Huge congrats to the @AnthropicAI team on defining SOTA.

BREAKING: Grok Imagine by @xai takes 1st overall on Video Editing Arena, with an overall Elo of 1290. The team's debut video editing model establishes a new Pareto frontier for Preference vs. Speed with an average generation time of 1 min 5 sec. Congrats to the @xai team for this achievement!

@XFreeze This was the first time a frontier lab’s debut video model took first place. Congratulations to the team!

xAI's Grok Imagine just took #1 on the Video Arena leaderboard (DesignArena by Arcada Labs) → Elo: 1336 - 33 points clear of #2 → Win rate: 69.7% - highest on the entire board → Battles: 15,590 - statistically rock solid Beats Veo 3 Fast, Veo 3.1 Fast, and Veo 3.1 - all at once And it does it in 21.3 seconds, while Google's models take over 40 seconds xAI went from nowhere to #1 in AI video. The pace of Grok Imagine improvement is unmatched

Progress
