Videos made by writing code
Artificial Analysis launched its independent implementation of HeyGen's Code2Video Bench on October 26. A model receives a design brief and returns an HTML composition using the HyperFrames format; rendered videos are compared by a Gemini 4 Argon judge. The launch covers 27 model configurations and 114 briefs, including 39 public briefs and 75 private briefs shared by HeyGen. [1][3]
The resulting Elo rankings compare this particular code-to-video workflow, rather than direct video generation. Each of five judging axes has its own comparisons and Elo fit, and the overall score averages those axes. Render failures lose against successfully rendered compositions. [1]
