# Text-to-Image Ranking
This page displays [Arena AI](https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-image) A daily snapshot of the top 30 on the leaderboard, for a quick view of recent model performance. For the full leaderboard, filters, and latest changes, please visit the Arena AI official website.
This leaderboard evaluates text-to-image models on their ability to generate images from text prompts.

{% hint style="info" %}
The leaderboard reflects specific evaluations and user voting preferences, and does not mean a model will definitely perform better on your task. When choosing a model, also consider price, speed, context length, tool calling, privacy, and regional availability.

## How to read this table
* **Rank / Rank range**: Relative rank estimated by Arena AI from text-to-image head-to-head votes; the rank range shows rank fluctuation within the confidence interval.
* **Score**: Relative score, suitable for comparing models on the leaderboard at the same point in time.
* **Votes**: Sample size reference; with fewer samples, rankings usually fluctuate more easily.
## Three things to check again 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 fit 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 comes from [Arena AI official text-to-image leaderboard](https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text-to-image), updated daily by GitHub Actions. For model pricing, licenses, and capabilities, please refer to the model provider's official information.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.cherryai.com.cn/docs/en-us/other/model_rank/text-to-image.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
