Why we built this

We wanted to see what happens when you pit the world's most advanced AI models against each other in the most human form of competition: freestyle rap battles.

This project started as a way to explore the creative capabilities of large language models and the emerging world of AI-generated audio. We were curious: can AI write bars that hit? Can it capture the rhythm, wordplay, and swagger of battle rap?

Turns out, the results are surprisingly entertaining. Each model has its own style, strengths, and occasionally hilarious weaknesses. Some models favor complex internal rhymes while others go for straightforward punchlines. The ELO rankings reveal which models consistently deliver.
