Brief

Grace (@grx_xce), Intelligence cofounder, told TBPN on 2026-08-04 that her company is building an "intelligence marketplace" instead of a leaderboard. Through Design Arena, users post creative tasks, multiple AI models generate outputs, and user preference judgments produce labeled data showing which models excel at which tasks—paving the way for narrowly customized models sold on marketplaces.

Why it matters

Grace (@grx_xce), cofounder of Intelligence, appeared on TBPN on 2026-08-04 and thanked hosts @jordihays and @johncoogan for their questions.

Key details

  • Intelligence is building an "intelligence marketplace" for AI capabilities rather than a simple leaderboard, aiming to match specialized models to specific tasks.
  • Design Arena collects preference labels by having users submit creative tasks, running multiple models on each task, and recording which outputs users prefer—data used to identify which models perform best for particular work and to enable narrow-purpose model customization and sale.

Intelligence cofounder @grx_xce wants to build an intelligence marketplace for AI capabilities, not just a leaderboard that tells you which model is best.

Today, Design Arena users submit creative tasks and have multiple AI models attempt it.

The company then collects users' preference about which result was best, which gives Intelligence data about which models perform well for particular kinds of work.

Grace thinks that in the future, it will become way easier for companies and individuals to customize models for one narrow purpose and sell access to it on a marketplace.
