    What is Chatbot Arena?

    Chatbot Arena is the LMSYS / LMArena human-vote leaderboard. Two models answer the same prompt. Voters pick a winner without seeing the names. That Elo is useful for chat quality and a poor proxy for SWE-bench or computer use. This page keeps Arena Elo next to exam scores and API price.

    Claude vs ChatGPT: which LLM is smarter?

    Smarter on what. Claude vs ChatGPT (GPT) trades the lead across evals. Use this overall board for a general rank, the coding board for repo work, and the pricing table for token cost. Brand loyalty is a bad routing rule.

    What is an LLM leaderboard?

    An LLM leaderboard ranks language models on shared benchmarks such as GPQA, MMLU, Humanity's Last Exam, and SWE-bench, then shows API price next to each score so you can compare quality and cost.

    Chatbot Arena ranks models from blind human votes. This page ranks the same frontier models on public evals and published token prices, including Arena Elo when we have it.

    Use GPQA or HLE for reasoning, SWE-bench for coding, and Arena Elo for human preference. Sort the table to switch the ranking without leaving the page.

    What is the best LLM right now?

    There is no single best LLM. Rank this overall board for a general score, then open Coding for SWE-bench, Agentic for computer use, and Pricing when token cost is the constraint. Chatbot Arena is a separate human-vote rank.

    What is Chatbot Arena?

    Chatbot Arena (LMSYS / LMArena) ranks models from blind human votes, not from exams. Arena Elo is the preference score. This page also shows public evals and API price on the same row, which Arena does not.

    What is the LMSYS leaderboard?

    The LMSYS leaderboard is Chatbot Arena. Humans pick a winner between two hidden models. Use it for chat feel. Use GPQA, HLE, or SWE-bench when you need a task score, and this table when you also need $/M.

    How is this LLM leaderboard different from Chatbot Arena?

    Arena is votes. This LLM leaderboard is published evals plus live API rates. We include Arena Elo when we have it, then keep SWE-bench, HLE, and GPQA next to input and output price so you can pick a production SKU.

    Claude vs ChatGPT: which LLM is better?

    Claude vs ChatGPT is a job split. Rank coding on SWE-bench, agents on OSWorld, writing on Arena Elo, then compare token price. ChatGPT Plus is a chat subscription. Claude API and GPT API are token bills.
