koyal team is growing!

[Multifactor (YC F25) @MultifactorCOM]

6 months ago, we met a team that was remarkably well aligned with our agentic security vision.

Today, we're joining forces.

We've officially acquired Keypo, Inc., and its founder Dave Blumenfeld is joining us as Founding Engineer, bringing his work on secure enclaves directly into our platform.

FilmArena just dropped.

There’s no “best” AI model, just best for each task.

We benchmarked 40+ models with 2M+ human votes and built a sandbox to use them all in one place.

Stop guessing.

Today we're launching FilmArena [dot] ai.

Biggest release we've ever shipped.

The problem: a new SOTA AI image & video model drops every week. @OpenAI shipped GPT Image 2 literally yesterday. 1000 endpoints, no honest answer to "which one is best right now?"

Arena AI and Artificial Analysis cracked LLM benchmarking. But for creative AI, they're solving the wrong problem.

There is no "best image-to-video model."

Best at what? World building? Action Sequences? Expressions? Every category has a different winner, and it flips weekly.

So we benchmarked 40+ SOTA models with 2M+ votes across 190 countries. By subcategory. Re-ranked every week as new models ship. With thousands of real humans.

But that's just half of it.

Then there's the SANDBOX.

Higgsfield and other aggregators put models in one place. But creators still juggle twelve subscriptions to do one job.

FilmArena collapses it into one tab. Every frontier model. One interface. Same price. Call the best, or call 3 at once and compare.

The AI film stack has been fragmented since day one. Today it isn't.

Go try it free: filmarena [dot] ai

Already wild results from this week:
1. @OpenAI GPT Image 2 (released yesterday) dominates image editing, but @GoogleDeepMind Nano Banana 2 still wins animated

2. @PixVerse_ C-1 beats @dreamina_ai Seedance 2 on animated

3. Veo 3.1 Fast outperforms Veo 3.1 on realistic video

And a lot more. Go check it out.
