Vancouver's Vresk lets users put up to three open AI models side by side on the same question
Built by UBC Sauder graduate Josh Hikida's Baran Labs, the workspace is free, with a $20-a-month Plus tier.
Vresk, a Vancouver-born web workspace built by UBC Sauder School of Business graduate Josh Hikida, lets people send the same question to up to three open AI models at once and read the answers side by side, Techcouver reported on Thursday.
"A new open model comes out every few months, and the only real way to know if it fits your work is to try it on your own work," Hikida said.
Made by Baran Labs, Vresk keeps files and memory in a single workspace while users compare results, and goes beyond text so people can also test how well models build things. Models available include Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen 3.5 and GLM 5.3.
"Vresk lets people put models side by side on the same question, see exactly who answered, and keep everything they've built in one place while they decide," Hikida said. The tool is free to use, with a Plus version at $20 a month.
