Bars start at 1590, not zero, so differences are easier to see.

The thin line on each bar is the likely range. When two lines overlap, the models are too close to call.

How to read this leaderboard

Higher is better, and only the gaps between models matter. Voters judge how the result looks and works, so this tells you about practical results rather than code style. Likely ranges that overlap mean the models are effectively tied. A model can rank well here and still be a poor fit for large existing codebases.

Questions people ask

What does the web development board measure?

It measures which model's web page or app people prefer when two anonymous models build from the same request. It rewards results that look right and work, as judged by the voter.

Is this the same as the coding leaderboard?

No. The coding board is about programming questions and answers. This board is about building something visible, such as a page or a small app. A model can rank differently on each.

Does the top model suit my work best?

Not always. A leaderboard compares models on one kind of test. Price, speed, privacy rules, the apps you already use and the type of work you do all matter. Use the rank as a starting point, then try two or three models on your own tasks.

Why is a model I know missing?

A model appears only when an open source has published results for it. New models can take days or weeks to be measured, and models with no published score are left out rather than guessed.

Where does the data come from?

Ratings come from the open leaderboard dataset published by Arena (arena.ai), licensed CC BY 4.0. We keep the latest published ratings, match models to our other sources and rank them. Arena does not endorse this site.

How often is this leaderboard updated?

We check our open data sources every day and show the date of the data at the top of the page. A model only moves when its source publishes new results, so a number can stay the same for weeks.
