So another day, and yet anothermysterious AI modelscreams up the leaderboards in a flurry of activity.
The idea is simple.
Model owners submit their tech for trial by a public jury.
These arenas typically deliver expected outcomes from mainstream players like Flux,Midjourney, Ideogram andStableDiffusion.
But occasionally a new model breaks through, like this Red_Panda, and destroys the competition.
At this point, rampant social media speculation begins until the identity of the new entrant is revealed.
How does the AI arena work?
The totals are tallied on an ongoing basis, with the leaderboard continually updated from the results.
This time around my money is on a new model from the Far East.
The big Chinese players like Baidu and Tencent have yet to stamp their mark on the image generation sector.
I did my test on the Arena and the Red_Panda model easily came top.
And bear in mind I am probably a pretty generic user.
Right now I use Flux models because theyre accurate, free and do text really well.
Ive also rated Ideogram highly in the past.
So perhaps were about to see a step-change uplift in the quality of our AI art.
At that point the other important fact will be if its a closed or open source model.
Never a dull moment in this game.
