Artificial Analysis introduces Code2Video-AA to benchmark coded marketing video generation

What happened

Artificial Analysis introduces Code2Video-AA, its independent implementation of HeyGen’s Code2Video Bench, built in partnership with HeyGen to evaluate models generating marketing videos in code. It tests 114 briefs using HyperFrames HTML compositions, with over 35,000 verdicts ranking 27 models across five judging axes. Claude Opus 5.5 leads with 1536 Elo at $3.08 per task, while fourth-place GPT-6.1 Sol scores 1369 at $0.31 per task; models receive a single response without tools, and rendering has no network access.

The story so far

Artificial Analysis introduced Code2Video-AA to evaluate models that generate marketing videos in code, with Claude Opus 5.5 leading its rankings and fourth-place GPT-6.1 Sol costing about one-tenth as much per task. Artificial Analysis reported that Claude Opus 5.5 (max with fallback) scored 1536 Elo at $3.08 per task, while GPT-6.1 Sol (max) scored 1369 at $0.31 per task—a 167-point gap. Built in partnership with HeyGen, Code2Video-AA is Artificial Analysis’s independent implementation of HeyGen’s Code2Video Bench. It evaluates 27 models on 114 product and brand marketing briefs using HyperFrames HTML compositions, with more than 35,000 verdicts across five judging axes. Each model gets a single response without tools, and rendering runs without network access, so the rankings apply to generation under those constraints.
