Artificial Analysis for AI agents

Artificial Analysis publishes independent benchmarks comparing AI models and API providers on intelligence, cost, latency, and throughput, used by engineering teams to decide which model to build with. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in Artificial Analysis.

01

Compare language model pricing and intelligence

List language models side by side with their intelligence index and pricing.

02

Check text-to-image arena rankings

List text-to-image models ranked by arena performance before choosing one to use.

03

Look up speech-to-text accuracy

List speech-to-text models ranked by word error rate for a side-by-side comparison.

02 · ACTIONS

12 Artificial Analysis actions, graded by risk.

Every Artificial Analysis action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Artificial Analysis in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect Artificial AnalysisThey add their Artificial Analysis api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “updates” can wait for the user to approve.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Artificial Analysis through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Artificial Analysis connects.

Users add their Artificial Analysis api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Artificial Analysis connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Artificial Analysis and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Artificial Analysis with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Artificial Analysis to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Artificial Analysis actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Artificial Analysis?

Users add their Artificial Analysis api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Artificial Analysis actions can my agent take?

12 in total: 12 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Artificial Analysis?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Artificial Analysis policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Artificial Analysis too?

Yes. The same Artificial Analysis connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
