A high schooler built a website that lets you challenge AI models to a Minecraft build-off


A high schooler built a website that compares the Minecraft building skills of two AI models. Users vote for which they think is the best.

Put simply, it’s hard to glean what it means that OpenAI’s GPT-4 can score in the 88th percentile on the LSAT, but cannot discern how many Rs are in the word “strawberry.” Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet achieved 62.3% accuracy on a standardized software engineering benchmark, but it is worse at playing Pokémon than most five-year-olds. MC-Bench is technically a programming benchmark, since the models are asked to write code to create the prompted build, like “Frosty the Snowman” or “a charming tropical beach hut on a pristine sandy shore.” But it’s easier for most MC-Bench users to evaluate whether a snowman looks better than to dig into code, which gives the project wider appeal — and thus the potential to collect more data about which models consistently score better.
