Rank is Arena's published rank (UB), which accounts for score uncertainty. Overlapping score intervals do not necessarily have the same published rank.

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. Computed within each model's selected benchmark task. A competitor must be at least as good and at least as cheap, with a strict advantage on one axis. The headline and plot cover Text to video only; an alternate task score does not inherit a task-specific price.

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?

Within the same selected benchmark task, no other scored and priced model is at least as good and at least as cheap, with a strict advantage on one axis. Separate benchmark tasks never share a frontier. Missing scores or prices do not qualify a model.
