DesignArena launches Code to Video Arena: models direct 15-45s films purely in code
yshan2u · x · 2026-10-28
DesignArena introduced a Code to Video Arena testing how well models create animated films without video diffusion models. Two models get the same prompt and each directs a 15-45 second film entirely via HTML, CSS and JavaScript in a single webpage, rendered at 1080p/60fps with sound synthesized through the Web Audio API and loudness-normalized. A leaderboard is coming soon.
