According to CoinMeta, a real-person evaluation platform AI funded a $7.9 million seed round of financing from its parent company DesignArena, with Index Ventures leading the investment, followed by Conviction, A*, Y Combinator, and others. The company stated that it has only a team of 10 people and has managed to increase its annual recurring revenue from $5 million to $60 million in the past six months. The platform currently has 5.5 million users, covering over 190 countries. DesignArena allows multiple AI models to complete the same task simultaneously, after which the model names are hidden, and users then select the best version. Each time, 4 models are randomly selected, and after 5 rounds of pairwise comparisons, a ranking is determined. The tasks include web pages, images, videos, and games. Users can compare different models for free, while AI companies pay for the real-person evaluation results and preference data to be used for model assessment and improvement.
