	AI World Bakeoff Evaluation	Braintrust Evaluation
Tagline	Ten AI coding models, three identical briefs, thirty explorable 3D worlds	Eval, monitor, and improve AI products end-to-end.
Category	Evaluation	Evaluation
Pricing	Free· Free to view. No paid tiers, sign-up, or accounts.	Freemium· Free up to 1k events/day; team from $249/mo
Model	Ten frontier coding models (specific list not published on landing page; includes at least one Claude Opus generation referenced as 'Opus 5')	Platform (any LLM)
Editorial score	—	8.9 / 10
Use cases	One-shot AI coding model comparison3D generative code benchmarkingthree.js and WebGL2 capability evaluationFrontier model due diligence for buyersDemo material for AI capability write-upsHuman-vs-AI graphics-code calibrationPrompt-spec template for private bakeoffs	evalsmonitoringprompt management
Pros	Every artefact is a real, clickable 3D world you can inspect in the browser, not a written score Fixed constraints (single HTML file, three.js + WebGL2, procedural only) make cross-model comparisons genuinely apples-to-apples One-shot autonomous protocol exposes reliability and 'does it even finish' failure modes that curated demos hide Free, no sign-up, no telemetry gate — anyone can audit the outputs directly Includes a hand-optimised rebuild as a human-baseline calibration point Focused on generative graphics code, a domain most public LLM benchmarks ignore	Full eval + observability in one tool Excellent UX Strong dataset/experiment tracking Closed loop dev → prod
Cons	Tiny sample: three prompts across ten models is directional, not statistically robust The site does not surface a formal leaderboard or scoring rubric — verdicts are largely left to the viewer Model list, run dates and prompt text are not prominently documented on the landing page Only tests three.js/WebGL2 3D generation, so results don't generalise to backend, data or agentic coding tasks No API, no way to submit new models, and no reproducible harness published for readers to rerun Appears to be a one-off passion project rather than a maintained, versioned benchmark	Team pricing is steep Smaller than LangSmith ecosystem-wise
