BLXBench is an independent, open AI benchmark. Every leaderboard run that shows up in the dashboard — every score, every latency curve, every cost line — was paid for in real tokens, real compute, and real engineering hours. We love doing this work. We just cannot carry the tab alone anymore.
Running a trustworthy AI benchmark is not a side project anymore. Frontier APIs, premium tiers, and self-hosted GPUs are the actual production line behind every number on this site. Below is where the money and time goes — in plain words.
Every leaderboard refresh fans out thousands of prompts across frontier and open-weight models. Inference time, rate limits, and premium tiers add up fast — especially for the hard-level fixtures.
Measuring streaming speed and TTFT the right way means sustained, well-timed traffic from neutral endpoints. That is not free — and it does not scale on a hobby budget.
Hosting the dashboard, scoring runs, archiving results, and keeping everything reproducible needs stable pipelines and 24/7 uptime, not a weekend laptop.
New tests have to be written, scored, reviewed, and kept current as models evolve. That is ongoing engineering time on top of running the evals.
Benchmarking today means GPU rentals, closed-source API invoices, and an always-on evaluation layer. Partners who plug into BLXBench get their models tested on a neutral, versioned fixture set — the same suite every other contender is measured against. No hand-tuned demos, no cherry-picked runs, no marketing gloss.
In return, we get to keep shipping public numbers that developers actually trust. That is the trade we are optimizing for.
We are intentionally flexible. If you care about honest LLM evaluations, there is probably a shape of collaboration that fits — pick the one that reads most like you.
You supply GPUs, API credits, or priority access.
You ship an LLM, tooling, or platform we can evaluate.
You want independent benchmarks to keep existing.
We are always in the market for partners and sponsors — whether you want to offset a single benchmark cycle or ride along as a long-term backer. One email gets you straight to the maintainers, no forms, no funnel.
Reply-rate: fast. Ego: low. Benchmark integrity: non-negotiable.
