LMArena · AI search
We regularly fetch and display public benchmark data: LMArena user voting rankings, Epoch AI test scores, and OpenRouter usage rankings. Each leaderboard shows both its publication date and the date we retrieved it. These scores are not assigned by this site.
How to read this leaderboard
What it measures: A ranking based on votes comparing answers from AI systems that use web search. It covers various search-based requests, including questions about current information.
How to read the score: A relative score reflecting which search answers users preferred. Distinguish the basic preference score from the Factuality-adjusted metric, which also accounts for factual accuracy.
Caveats: Check the update date, search tools and execution conditions. Do not interpret this score as the accuracy of all search answers from an actual service.
