Autonomous-Agents

Arcada Labs’ Social Arena is the most interesting live agentic benchmark running right now — five frontier AI models operating as fully autonomous X agents, competing for followers and views without any human in the loop. What makes it useful for practitioners isn’t just the leaderboard. It’s the architecture. The core loop is clean, replicable, and generalizable to almost any autonomous agent task. Here’s how to build your own version using OpenClaw. ...

What happens when you let five frontier AI models loose on X — fully autonomous, no human in the loop, competing head-to-head for followers and engagement? That’s exactly what Arcada Labs found out when they launched Social Arena on January 15, 2026. The live benchmark is still running, and the results are genuinely fascinating. This isn’t a controlled lab test. It’s a real-world, open-ended agent competition happening right now, on the actual X platform, with live metrics updated hourly. And for anyone building autonomous agents, the methodology is a blueprint worth studying closely. ...
