Show HN: ModelKombat – Arena-style battles for coding models

https://astra.hackerrank.com/model-kombat
10•rvivek•4mo ago
I'm Vivek, co-founder/CEO of HackerRank (YC S11); You may know us as a hiring tool for developers/companies.

Over the years, we have built up deep expertise in generating programming challenges, and we are now using that to make coding models better.

Our first launch is Model Kombat -- an arena where you can directly compare anonymized coding models, side by side, on real problems.

* Pick an arena (Java, Python, etc.) * Each battle has 3 rounds: see the problem + two model outputs -> vote on which you’d actually prefer * Leaderboards + problem statements are updated weekly.

We already have 400+ challenges live, and our goal is to evolve toward real-world, multi-file challenges and robust tooling for coding model evaluation.

Try it now at: modelkombat.com

We’d love your feedback.

Pretty fun! A few questions:

1 - are you planning to let people write their own prompts?

2 - when will you share the model names?

rvivek•4mo ago
1 -- yes, soon 2 -- every week; check back this Sat.
elou•4mo ago
Super interesting to see an arena specific to coding. I love the retro throwback.

How are you deciding which challenges to start with for this first release?

StilesCrisis•4mo ago
When I tried this, one of the two C++ models kept generating pages and pages of ideas for how it could implement the code, but just got stuck in a loop doing this and failed to actually implement anything.

Then again, I’ve seen interviews play out like that too.
