How to read this table

  • Rank / Rank range:Relative rank estimated by Arena AI based on text-to-image matchup votes; the rank range indicates rank fluctuation within the confidence interval.

  • Score:Relative score, suitable for comparing models on the leaderboard at the same time.

  • Votes:Sample size reference; when there are fewer samples, rankings usually fluctuate more easily.

Three things to confirm when choosing a model

  1. Whether the provider actually offers this model and whether it is available in your region and account;

  2. Whether the API pricing, rate limits, and context length suit your task;

  3. Run a small-scale test with 3–5 real tasks; don't rely only on the overall leaderboard rank.

Data source

Data from Arena AI official text-to-image leaderboard, updated daily by GitHub Actions. For model pricing, licenses, and capabilities, refer to the model provider's official information.
