We’ve made the difficult decision to wind down yupp.ai.
What you need to know: The site will remain available until April 15. During this time, new signups and new conversations are closed, but you can view your chat history and download your chat data by following these instructions.
What happened: We launched last June to build a two-sided marketplace for AI model evaluation, giving users access to multiple models and using that real-world usage to help AI labs evaluate them. We signed up more than 1.3M users, and several labs as paying customers; but we didn’t reach a strong enough product–market fit.
Meanwhile, the landscape has shifted quickly. Models are getting much more capable, and user workflows are moving toward agentic systems: models connected to tools, memory, and external services, rather than standalone chatbots. In that world, crowdsourced model evaluation at the chatbot layer becomes increasingly less critical.
To our community: We're proud of what we built together here. One of the things that meant the most to us was being able to give our community free access to the world's top AI models. You used that access to learn, to build and share wonderful things, to shape AI with your feedback, and to grow in your careers; and then you brought those skills home to your friends, family, and communities. That meant everything to us.
We know this is disappointing news. We're grateful to you and are sorry for this outcome. We have no doubt you'll all go on to do great things with the knowledge you've built here. Thank you for being part of this. We’re grateful for your support and sorry for the outcome.
Finally, we’d like to thank our customers, investors and our incredibly talented team to have made this journey possible. Thank you for your support!
