    Arc FAQ

    As of August 20, 2026, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite by Google ranks #1 on Arc at 2.5%. API pricing is $0.10/M input and $0.40/M output.

    How often is the Arc leaderboard updated?

    Scores and API prices on this page are refreshed from published evals and provider rates. The snapshot is labeled August 20, 2026. Treat it as a current index, not a one-off blog post.

    What is Arc?

    Arc is a public LLM eval (the Arc score). This page ranks models that have published a score, next to live API prices.

    Where is the Arc leaderboard?

    This page is the Arc leaderboard. Models are sorted by Arc, with input and output token prices on the same row so you can weigh score against cost. Official boards often omit price; that comparison is the point of this index.

    How is this Arc ranking different from the official board?

    Official eval pages own the methodology. This page keeps the published Arc score next to live API $/M so you can pick a production SKU, not only a trophy number.
