Votes collected from Battles in Direct now count toward leaderboards.

Since March 2026, we've been running an experiment where 10% of direct-chat sessions on Arena are converted into battles between two randomly sampled models. Starting today, votes collected this way will be included in leaderboards. Over the next month, we'll also gradually backfill Battles in Direct votes collected from March through May, so models active during that time period may see vote counts increase and scores shift slightly.

This change meaningfully increases daily vote volume, which tightens confidence intervals and stabilizes ranks faster. The distribution of prompts also shifts: direct battles arrive with prior conversational context and skew toward longer queries, harder prompts, coding, and instruction following. Direct battles where the user votes skip are not used, so every direct-battle vote is a decisive A-or-B preference.

We observed two new biases in the Battles in Direct voting data and corrected for them in the Bradley-Terry fit for the text, vision, search, and document arenas. The first is a position bias favoring Model A (the model on the left); the second is an advantage given to models that share an organization with the prior turns of context. To correct each bias, we added a corresponding feature to the model: is_direct_battle and same_org_indicator, respectively. The model fitting learns coefficients for these features that absorb the biases.

Introducing Arena Expert: a new LMArena evaluation framework to identify the toughest, most expert-level prompts from real users, powering a new Expert leaderboard.

We also introduce Occupational Categories that underlie eight new leaderboards:

Software & IT Services Writing, Literature, & LanguageLife, Physical, & Social ScienceEntertainment, Sports, & MediaBusiness, Management, & Financial OpsMathematicalLegal & GovernmentMedicine & Healthcare

Arena Expert aims to sharpen the difficulty level compared to Arena Hard. While Hard includes about a third of all LMArena prompts, Arena Expert includes only 5.5% of all prompts. Expert prompts are identified by their reasoning depth and specificity, producing sharper separations between models. By mapping all Arena prompts across occupational fields, the Occupational Categories system captures the full spectrum of real-world reasoning tasks.

We have added a new "preliminary" tag to the leaderboard. If a model is tested anonymously and is subsequently released publicly, we mark its score as "preliminary" until enough fresh votes have been collected after the model’s public release. The tag indicates that scores may shift as community prompts and votes evolve after public launch. See our leaderboard policy for more details about evaluating models.

New model announcements:
Longcat-Flash-Chat, Qwen 3 Next-80b-a3b-instruct and Qwen 3 Next-80b-a3b-thinking have been added to the Text leaderboards.

We've updated our data pipeline to add a filter which removes votes from users who exhibit statistically anomalous voting patterns. This improves the quality of the rankings by removing votes from users whose votes are arbitrary, rather than based on the quality of the responses.

Seedream 4 High Res has been added to the Text-to-Image and Image Edit leaderboards.

Deepseek v3.1 & Deepseek v3.1-thinking have been added to the WebDev leaderboard.

New model announcement:
Seedream 4 has been added to the Text-to-Image and Image Edit leaderboards.

New model announcements:
Qwen3-max-preview and Kimi-K2-0905-preview have been added to the Text Leaderboard.

We also enabled filtering for the mistaken image generation and image edit requests for text arena.

Due to the increase in image generation traffic brought by nano-banana, we noticed there were prompts in our vision arena data which were asking for image generation but did not have image output enabled. We've implemented an LLM based rule to filter these rows out from the vision leaderboard calculation.

New model announcements:

New model announcement: MAI-1-preview has been added to the Text Leaderboard.

New model announcement: Gemini-2.5-Flash-Image-Preview ("nano-banana") has been added to the Text-to-Image and Image Edit leaderboards.

GPT-5 and Claude Opus 4.1 have been added to the Search Leaderboard.

We also noticed that the effects of response style are different for search than they are for ordinary chat so we'll be defaulting this leaderboard to ordinary Bradley-Terry while we study search specific style effects.

Big update: three new leaderboards!
Check out the Search, Text-to-Video, and Image-to-Video leaderboards.

Since the video arenas are used through our discord server, there are a few considerations we made for handling the votes. Currently, the model identities are revealed after two votes are cast on a generation. For fairness, we only use the votes cast before the model names are revealed when constructing the leaderboard.

The video arenas are also the first arenas where multiple votes can be cast on the same pair of generations, so unlike the other arenas, some votes are cast by people other than the author of the prompt. The overall leaderboard is computed using all anonymous votes, and we've created a new category which uses only the votes cast by the prompt's author.

We have updated the "total votes" counts to include battles involving models not included on the leaderboard (for example, due to being deprecated). The battles between these models and models present on the leaderboard are informative of model strengths, even if the former are not shown, and thus help reduce the variance of the scores. The leaderboard computation is not changing; you will only see a change in the vote counts.

New model announcements: GLM-4.5 and GLM-4.5 Air are now on the Text leaderboard.

We made improvements to the methodology behind Arena scores!

Our leaderboard uses confidence intervals to represent the uncertainty and variability inherent in estimating scores based on human voting. Up until now, our confidence intervals have been computed via bootstrapping, a process where we resample the dataset many times, calculate scores on each, and then look at the distribution of the scores over all the runs. While statistically sound, this is computationally intensive, especially with a large number of battles. We’ve recently moved to a new method based on the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for M-estimators, which allows us to compute confidence intervals via a closed form equation.

We validated this approach by comparing the confidence intervals computed via bootstrapping, with those using the CLT and confirmed that the results are in very close parity (with a fraction of the compute cost and time!). See below:

On LMArena, every vote counts towards producing the leaderboard, but what happens when some models appear more than others? When new models are released, they inevitably have fewer votes than those which have been in use for a while, and when models are deprecated it becomes impossible to collect more votes for them.

To counteract this imbalance and produce a leaderboard that is fair and equally representative of all models, we use an improved reweighting scheme that reweights battles inversely proportionally to how frequently they appear.

The CLT confidence intervals above take these weights into account. Reweighting increases the variance of Arena scores, and we observe wider confidence intervals as a result. This mean that the new rankings will have more ties due to overlapping confidence intervals, especially when there are fewer votes per model like in the vision arena.

New model announcements! Kimi K2 is on the Text leaderboard, Seededit 3 is on the Image Edit leaderboard, and Grok 4 is on the Vision leaderboard.

We're announcing four new models! Grok 4 is on the Text and WebDev leaderboards, Claude Opus 4 Thinking is on the Text leaderboard, Claude Sonnet 4 Thinking is on the Text leaderboard, and Seedream 3 is on the Text-to-Image leaderboard.

We made improvements to our data processing—in particular, we strengthened our deduplication and identity leak detection pipelines.

Deduplication aims to reduce the impact of over-represented or repetitive conversations using a hash-based approach. We count how many times each unique prompt appears. Prompts in the top 0.5% percentile are considered high-frequency. For these high-frequency prompts, we keep only a limited number of samples and discard the rest. Deduplication filters out around 10% of all submitted votes.

Identity leak detection filters out user prompts whose intent is to reveal model information. We first use an LLM classifier to label conversations as identity_leak if they include user prompts that directly attempt to extract or expose model details (e.g., "What is your name?"). We filter out conversations labeled as identity_leak, as well as associated conversations. Less than 4% of all votes are labeled as identity_leak.

We're excited to continue iterating and improving our data processing pipeline!
