Drawing Arena turns a 60-second sketch into a live AI race. You get a secret word, draw it, and independent AI models try to identify your picture every five seconds—without seeing each other’s answers. Mystery matchups keep model identities hidden until the reveal, and every finished race can become a replay challenge for friends. It’s a game first, but also a fun way to see how differently vision models interpret the same drawing.
