Table of Contents

Benchmark Radar is an open benchmark catalog and search engine that crawls 39 public sources daily, indexes AI benchmark records with their evidence, and tracks reported model scores over time, and it is the only member of its category whose subject is the benchmarks themselves rather than the models.

Every other site in this category measures models; Benchmark Radar measures the measurement landscape, answering “which benchmarks exist, who ran them, and what did they report” from a corpus where every record keeps its source.

What it is
#

A web dashboard (benchmark-radar.org), a downloadable data ZIP, a Hugging Face dataset, an RSS feed, and an offline CLI with an agent skill (npx skills add ktwu01/benchmark-radar), built by Koutian Wu and contributors, MIT licensed for code and CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 for the technical report and editorial content. Daily discovery draws on 39 sources (15 direct connectors and 24 first-party lab and research feeds), and the catalog merges four benchmark catalogs, OpenCompass Hub, Artificial Analysis, LLM Stats, and the Claire radar, with numeric score observations whose citations are preserved. Surfaces: a Today feed with a daily briefing, a Benchmark Frontier leaderboard with a Pareto view of score against measured use, saturation and trend views, and per-record evidence pages. The technical report (arXiv:2609.11115, v3, revised 22 September 2026, nine authors) audited the catalog at 1,283 source records from 37 sources and 12,916 numeric observations on 790 records, and the repository’s data-driven badge states 20,710+ records as of 2026-10-10, so the corpus has outgrown the paper’s snapshot in under a month.

Status
#

Young and fast-moving: created 2026-07-27, 289 stars and 45 forks as of 2026-10-10, pushed 2026-10-09, with 121 open issues and discussions enabled. The README badge claims Hugging Face’s #1 Paper of the Day for 14 September 2026, and the README lists institutions whose researchers it says use the project (Google, Amazon, IBM, ByteDance, CMU, MIT, Tsinghua, and others), a self-reported claim. Community footprint outside its own surfaces is near zero: an HN search for the project returns no stories as of 2026-10-10. The dashboard is a client-rendered app, and this run’s fetch returned the shell with a “Dashboard unavailable” data-file fallback, so live counts come from the repository badge and the Hugging Face dataset viewer rather than the rendered page.

Strengths
#

  • It answers a question no other member even frames: given a capability, which benchmarks exist for it, which are saturating, and where was each reported score published.
  • The counts are auditable by design: every record retains source identity and citation, and the project publishes a catalog data contract, a public corpus schema, a scoring rubric, and daily Issues.
  • The agent surface is a first-class product: an installable CLI skill for coding agents, plus a full data ZIP and a Hugging Face dataset for offline queries.

Cautions
#

  • One researcher’s project, under three months old, with no independent critique, replication, or press coverage yet, so every quality claim currently traces back to the project itself.
  • Its frontier score views mostly re-aggregate Artificial Analysis and LLM Stats scores (both credited in the README), so it inherits those members’ methodologies and adds discovery and bookkeeping, not independent measurement.
  • The site loads Microsoft Clarity analytics with session replay and heatmaps, disclosed in a footer notice, a privacy cost most rivals do not carry.
  • Licensing is mixed: MIT for code, but the technical report and editorial content are CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, and commercial republication requires written permission, so treat the corpus as attribution-plus for anything beyond the code.

Pricing
#

Free: the dashboard, the data ZIP, the Hugging Face dataset, the RSS feed, and the CLI are public, with funding through GitHub Sponsors. No paid tier exists, so no price history applies.

Compared to
#

  • Artificial Analysis: first-party measurement of models; Benchmark Radar consumes those published scores and indexes them alongside everything else.
  • LLM Stats: aggregates model scores for ranking; Benchmark Radar catalogs benchmarks and their evidence for discovery and saturation questions.
  • LiveBench: generates its own ground-truth scores; Benchmark Radar catalogs what others generated.

Bottom line
#

Recommended for evaluation builders choosing or designing a benchmark, and for agents that need benchmark discovery and score history offline; not for choosing a model this week. My disagreeable claim: the interesting numbers on this site are not any scores but the saturation and frontier views, because the field’s benchmark pile grows daily (the project’s own corpus is the evidence), and nobody else in this category watches the pile itself.
