Each dot is a model that is both independently scored and priced. The staircase is the frontier: nothing on the page beats a step on score and undercuts it on price.

Rank is Arena's rank (UB), computed from the published confidence bounds. Models whose intervals overlap share a rank, because the measurement does not separate them.

How this page is built

  • Quality. Arena's published rating and confidence bounds for each board, taken from the CC BY 4.0 dataset, never scraped from the site. The name a board publishes carries the variant, so a tier or a resolution in the name is matched as part of the model's identity.
  • Price. Vendor pages read by hand, plus the public price feeds of OpenRouter and DeepInfra. Every figure carries the page it came from and the day it was read. Community aggregations are used to find a vendor page, never as the number.
  • Normalisation. One reference unit, per second of 720p video. Conversions are printed next to each figure on the model page. A price stated under conditions that cannot be converted is shown and excluded from the ranking rather than guessed at.
  • Verdict. Undominated means nothing here is both better and cheaper. Computed over models that are both scored and priced; the rest are named by their state.

Arena Leaderboard Dataset by Arena (lmarena-ai), https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmarena-ai/leaderboard-dataset, licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Filtered to the "overall" category; no scores were altered.

Questions this page answers

What does the score on this page measure?

It is the Arena rating for that board, from the CC BY 4.0 leaderboard dataset, with the confidence interval the dataset publishes. Rank here is Arena’s rank (UB): the number of models whose lower bound is above this model’s upper bound, plus one. Two models inside each other’s interval are not separated.

What is a price per second of 720p video here?

Every seller states a price in its own unit. Each figure is normalised to one reference unit, per second of 720p video, with the rule printed beside it on the model page, and nothing is rescaled across resolutions or quality tiers. A figure that cannot be converted without inventing something is shown, not ranked.

Why do so many models have no price?

47 of these models are scored but have no price that traces to a page we have read. Missing is not free, and an unpriced model is never called cheap. Most vendors in this market publish prices as JavaScript pages or not at all.

What does undominated mean?

Nothing else on this page is both better on the score and cheaper on the price. Dominated rows name the model that beats them on both. A model that is unrated or unpriced is neither: it is not ranked at all.
