Social Arena introduces human-vs-AI social games for behavioral evaluation
OlaM Labs is releasing Social Arena, a platform where humans play social games such as Risk, Catan, and Poker against AI agents.
The first benchmark is the Deception Index, and the system uses these multi-agent matches to evaluate model behavior in imperfect-information, multi-turn settings. The poster calls it a promising revival of one of the classic proving grounds for AI.
