    Hey, Jared Palmer (creator of this playground) here. Really excited to ship this. I’ve been building this over the past few weeks to compare LLMs from different providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc. At Vercel, I manage our Frameworks division (including Next.js, Svelte, and Turbo) and wanted to also dogfood some of the latest features in a slightly larger application. This playground takes a lot of inspiration from https://nat.dev and is built on Tailwind, ui.shadcn.com, and some upcoming Vercel products we’re announcing soon. We’re going to continue adding models to…

    We build AI agents to find vulnerabilities in other AI agents. The playground started as an internal tool that we used to test our own offensive agent Nyx. But we realised that hacking an AI is about have as wide a distribution of attacks as possible, especially those which aren't in the distribution of the models. So we are launching playground as a platform to crowdsource agent jailbreaks. And although hacking AI is super fun and we are sure people will do it for free, we want to reward those who help us push forward the offensive frontier of AI. So we are committing $100K in prizes over…

    I built OCR Arena as a free playground for the community to compare leading foundation VLMs and open-source OCR models side-by-side. Upload any doc, measure accuracy, and (optionally) vote for the models on a public leaderboard. It currently has Gemini 3, dots.ocr, DeepSeek, GPT5, olmOCR 2, Qwen, and a few others. If there's any others you'd like included, let me know!

    Hi HN, We're a small team building AI tutors out of India, and as you might guess, this means we spend a ton of time writing, testing, and refining prompts for LLMs. When we started out, we were using the OpenAI playground but things became tedious when we wanted to compare responses from different models. We tried a bunch of other playgrounds but found them lacking in some features so we built our own.

    I was frustrated that open ai's playground lacks function calls, so I wrote my own more similar to ChatGpt! Now I can: * use the same models I program against * have access to function calls * can see how much it's costing me Side benefit: I can share my API key with a friend so they can use Gpt3.5 & 4 as open ai took their deposit but still labelled their account as free tier - mistakes happen. Prerequisite: an open ai api key https://github.com/acover288/playgpt Use at your own risk as I blindly installed npm packages.

    Hey everyone, I'm Petr. I'm excited to share LangTale Playground (https://langtale.ai/playground), a first-of-its-kind tool enabling anyone to experiment with OpenAI function calls without coding. Born out of a hackathon project, it's now a part of our broader LangTale platform aimed at tackling common developer challenges with Language Learning Models (LLM). These include prompt integration, testing and debugging, version control, auditing, and usage/cost management. Here's our tech stack: Next.js by Vercel, Tailwind CSS, OpenAI, PlanetScale's Vitess database, and the…

    We build runtime security for AI agents. The playground started as an internal tool that we used to test our own guardrails. But we kept finding the same types of vulnerabilities because we think about attacks a certain way. At some point you need people who don't think like you. So we open-sourced it. Each challenge is a live agent with real tools and a published system prompt. Whenever a challenge is over, the full winning conversation transcript and guardrail logs get documented publicly. Building the general-purpose agent itself was probably the most fun part. Getting it to reliably use…
