Das neue Leaderboard schafft gleiche Bedingungen für Creator, Filmemacher, Animatoren und andere Kreative aller Erfahrungsstufen bei der Wahl der passendsten KI-Video- und Bildmodelle, um ihre Arbeit auf ein neues Level zu bringen
- OpenArt Arena wird das erste Leaderboard sein, das auf den Expertenbewertungen von Top-Kreativen aus verschiedenen Branchen basiert – darunter Film/TV, Werbung und Creator – durch Blindbewertungen, die rund um die kreativen Kriterien konzipiert sind, die am meisten zählen
San Francisco, CA – 15. September 2026 – OpenArt AI, the all-in-one AI creative platform and AI video generator that is changing the way visual stories are told for over 8 million monthly active users, today announced OpenArt Arena, a new AI image and video model leaderboard and benchmark built for and by the creative communities that are increasingly using AI to supercharge their work. The goal of OpenArt Arena is to become a brain trust for the creative community and make the use of AI more accessible and less daunting for all creatives, from AI neophyte to expert. While existing benchmarks generally aren’t organized around creative workflows, OpenArt Arena is designed to better serve the needs of creatives such as filmmakers, advertisers, creators, and storytellers of all kinds as the first leaderboard based on expert-led, task-specific evaluation. OpenArt Arena is available at openart.ai/arena.
“OpenArt sees firsthand how creators seek trusted resources for determining which AI models are best suited for specific creative tasks,” said Coco Mao, CEO and Co-founder of OpenArt. “As the pace of innovation accelerates, creators should not have to rely solely on technical benchmarks to make decisions about the tools that shape their work. OpenArt Arena is designed to fill that gap, bringing the perspectives of experienced practitioners and the creative community together to help people make more informed decisions about the AI tools they use every day.”
To develop the leaderboard, OpenArt is bringing together a “Creative Expert Council” of industry leaders, experienced practitioners, educators, and creative AI specialists, alongside a broader group of “tastemakers,” who are among the top users and creators on the OpenArt platform. Notable names include Emmy-winning animation director and creator William Lau; creative technologist Willonius “King Willonius” Hatcher; marketing leader David Shing “Shingy”; co-founders of The Monster Library Mark Monroe and Kevin Van Witt; founders of the creative community Machine Cinema Minh Do and Fred Grinstein; Global SVP, Group Executive Producer - AI, Edelman and lecturer at UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television Gabe Michael; and more.
The leaderboard will have category-specific rankings for industries such as advertising and marketing, filmmaking, graphic design, animation, and more. Rather than assigning one broad technical score to each model, the experts, spanning these categories, will take part in blind, side-by-side evaluations of unlabeled model outputs, selecting the result that best fulfills a specific creative brief and the criteria most relevant to that use case and category. Participants will evaluate models through the criteria creative professionals care about most, including aesthetics, prompt adherence, realism, motion quality, and more. By focusing on direct comparisons instead of asking judges to assign subjective scores in isolation, OpenArt Arena is designed to reflect how creative professionals actually assess work in real-world settings.
OpenArt developed the evaluation framework in close consultation with industry practitioners to ensure each benchmark reflects the standards and priorities of its various creative disciplines. OpenArt aims to update the OpenArt Arena regularly as models frequently evolve and new solutions enter the mix. Rankings are calculated from aggregated blind, pairwise evaluations using a Bradley–Terry statistical model.[OpenArt to confirm any more methodology details we can include and confirm how often the leaderboard will be updated].
The launch of OpenArt Arena comes amid significant company momentum for OpenArt, including the June launch of Director, the company’s new visual storytelling tool that introduces “vibe directing,” allowing users of all skill levels to create cinematic videos through conversation alone. This summer, OpenArt was also announced as part of the 2026 Disney Accelerator-Programm.

Über OpenArt
OpenArt ist eine kreative KI-Plattform, die von Millionen von Creatorn genutzt wird, um ihre visuellen Geschichten zum Leben zu erwecken. Gegründet von ehemaligen Google-Ingenieuren und mit Sitz in San Francisco, steigerte OpenArt seinen Umsatz 2025 um das 7-Fache, und der ARR hat 100 Mio. $ überschritten. Im Juni 2026 brachte OpenArt das bahnbrechende Director, ein revolutionäres neues agentenbasiertes Tool, mit dem jeder allein durch ein Gespräch ein komplettes Video in Kinoqualität erstellen kann. Der Launch läutet eine neue kreative Ära ein, die das Unternehmen „Vibe Directing“ nennt – genau wie „Vibe Coding“ die Art veränderte, wie wir Software bauen, ist „Vibe Directing“ dabei, das Gleiche für die Videoerstellung zu tun.
