How We Rank LLMs

We evaluate and rank large language models based on transparent, testable criteria and real-world use cases. Our comparisons are based on both standardized benchmarks and independent tests.

Evaluation Criteria

  • Benchmark Scores:
    • Chatbot Arena Elo Rating
    • LiveBench by LMSYS
    • MT-Bench (from OpenCompass)
    • Scale AI SEAL Benchmark
    • Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard
  • Use Case Performance:
    • 🧠 Reasoning & Math
    • 💻 Coding & Debugging
    • 📝 Creative Writing
    • 💬 General Chat
    • 🌐 Multilingual Abilities

Testing Process

We use real prompts and tasks to evaluate model responses. Prompts are tested across models using the same conditions for fairness.

Update Frequency

We update rankings:

  • When major models are released or upgraded
  • When benchmark data significantly changes
  • On a biweekly basis for LiveBench & Chatbot Arena updates

Disclaimer

No ranking is perfect. We encourage readers to consider multiple benchmarks and their own needs when choosing a model.
