The tool addresses a key flaw in AI benchmarking by enabling tests against user-specific data, which is particularly useful for agent-based applications where these metrics are more informative than raw token pricing.", "body_md": "Artificial Analysis has launched Optima, a platform that lets users build custom AI benchmarks from their own data and workflows.
