Yupp
Yupp (Ber Sarai Labs Inc.) was a San Francisco-based AI evaluation platform that let users compare 900+ AI models side-by-side for free - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Llama and more - and rewarded them with crypto-backed credits for rating responses. By gamifying human feedback at scale, Yupp aimed to sell anonymized preference data back to AI labs. Backed by $33M in seed funding from a16z crypto, Coinbase Ventures, and luminaries like Jeff Dean, Biz Stone, and Aravind Srinivas, the company launched publicly in June 2025, grew to 1.3M users, and signed multiple AI labs as paying customers before shutting down in April 2026 when the AI landscape shifted decisively toward agentic systems.
