§ Methodology

How the rankings are made.

Real sessions, not benchmarks

Win share counts how often a model finishes real tasks that users accept — across real API workloads, coding agents, and blind Arena tests.

Blind pairwise votes

In Arena, people compare two hidden models and vote. Scores use a Bradley–Terry model with 95% confidence intervals.

Cost is part of the score

Every ranking shows dollars per completed task, so you can see who is best for the money — not just best.
