Understanding the Elo Rating System

How arena rankings work and what the scores mean for model quality comparison.

Both LM Arena and Artificial Analysis use an Elo rating system — originally developed for chess and now standard in AI benchmarking. Users compare two anonymously generated outputs and vote for their preference. Winners gain Elo points; losers lose points. The magnitude depends on the expected outcome — upsets transfer more points. A 10-point difference is meaningful; 50+ points indicates substantial advantage.

Exceptional (1250+)

Models that consistently outperform all competition. GPT Image 1.5, Veo 3.1, Gemini 3 Pro represent the current state-of-the-art across generation and vision.

Top-Tier (1200–1250)

Premium performance for professional applications. Includes Sora 2 Pro, FLUX.2 family, Seedream 4.5, Claude Opus 4, and other flagship models.

High-Quality (1150–1200)

Excellent results for most applications. Densely packed tier with HunyuanImage, Kling, Hailuo, GPT-4.1, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and many competitive models.

Solid Mid-Tier (1000–1150)

Reliable quality suitable for most use cases. Includes open-source models like Qwen2.5 VL, Llama 4, FLUX.1, Recraft V3, and community favorites.
