CoArena
New accelerator entry · 2026-06-24 · the record
In their words
CoArena is a live arena where anyone can use the world's top computer-use models racing two of them on the same real computer task and judging which one did it better. Every battle becomes something the AI labs can't build themselves, an honest test of their agents on real work, and the data to make them better.

Is this you?
If you're behind CoArena: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
