We have a problem with ChatBot Arena.

Machine Learning Street Talk

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Gaming is Rife: Major players admit to fine-tuning models specifically for Arena, meaning high scores don't always reflect real-world, generalizable capability.
  2. Data Access Skews Results: Preferential treatment in sample rates and access to Arena data for fine-tuning gives proprietary models a significant, often undisclosed, advantage.
  3. Transparency & Fair Play Needed: ChatBot Arena must implement stricter, transparent rules—like prohibiting score retractions, limiting private models, and ensuring fair sampling—to restore trust and utility.

  3. Sustainable crypto AI requires moving past speculative emissions toward actual service fees. The next year will separate apps that use AI to solve problems from protocols that use AI to sell tokens.
