The challenge
Model benchmarks are static question sets. Nobody gets to see how a model actually draws, or how well it recognizes a human sketch.
What we built
A drawing game with four modes: draw and guess with the models, judge their drawings anonymously, let them guess yours, or watch them duel each other for eight rounds. Live guesses, hints, scoring, a gallery and saved sessions.
Data & AI
Every model runs through the Vercel AI Gateway, so GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok play side by side in the same round. Guesses are fuzzy-matched, and results feed a performance leaderboard.
Impact
Built for the Vercel AI Gateway hackathon as a benchmark anyone can play without reading a paper.
