[**Music Arena**](https://music-arena.org) is an _academic research project_ operated by the [Generative Creativity Lab (G-CLef)](https://gclef-cmu.org) at Carnegie Mellon University. Our primary goals are to provide rigorous evaluation for music generation models, and to provide an open and renewable source of music generation preference data for the research community.

Here on HuggingFace, we host [**Music Arena as a Space**](https://huggingface.co/spaces/music-arena/music-arena) and a regularly-updated [**dataset of music AI preferences**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/music-arena/music-arena-dataset) provided by users on the platform.
