About Peter Gostev

Peter Gostev is Head of AI Capabilities at Arena (LMArena), the community platform where users vote in blind tests to rank AI models. He previously served as Head of AI at Moonpig, applying generative AI to customer service and computer vision to greeting-card discovery, and built a large following sharing hands-on tests of frontier models. Gostev began his career in strategy and analytics at Accenture before leading AI strategy at NatWest Group. He created BullshitBench, an open-source benchmark testing whether language models recognise nonsensical questions rather than confidently answering them. On Day One, he discussed how AI models are really judged.
