Arena AI

The official AI ranking and LLM leaderboard

About Arena AI

Arena AI, formerly LMArena and Chatbot Arena, ranks frontier AI models through crowdsourced blind comparisons. Visitors prompt two anonymous models side by side, vote for the better response, and browse public leaderboards spanning text, image, video, and agent tasks. The rankings give researchers, builders, and curious users an evidence-based view of which models people actually prefer, grounded in millions of real human evaluations.
