    This is based on users choosing the better from 2 models at a time, and calculating an ELO rating from who-beats-who.

    BYOT - bring your own tests style.

    Gives a better picture of real-world performance and more robust against contamination.

    They collected over 6000 and 1500 votes for Mixtral-8x7B and Gemini Pro.

    While ELO ratings are widely used to rank performance in Chess or among sports teams, here's a disclaimer by the makers of the leaderboard:

    ---

    > Please note Arena is a "live eval" and pretty much a sampling process to estimate models capability.

    > That's why we show the confidence intervals through bootstrapping. Statistically, these models (e.g., GPT-3.5, Mixtral, Gemini Pro) are very close and only looking at their ranking can be misleading.
