LLM leaderboard: every major AI benchmark, blended into one ranking

Artificial Analysis, LiveBench, LMArena and Berkeley BFCL each rank AI models their own way, and they rarely agree. We blend them: on each leaderboard a model scores the share of models it beats, and the average of those is its consensus score out of 100. Claude Fable 5 leads, first on 1 of 3.

Models are matched across sources by name, with lab prefixes, dates and reasoning settings removed, so “GPT 5.6 xHigh” on LiveBench and “openai/gpt-5.6” on OpenRouter are one model. Each source keeps the model's best run.

On each source, a model scores the share of the other ranked models it beats, 0 to 100. The consensus averages those with one neutral score of 50 added, and needs at least two sources. Best value divides the consensus by the blended price, for models scoring 50 or more.

Questions about the LLM leaderboard

What is the best AI model right now?
Claude Fable 5 from Anthropic, with a consensus score of 85 out of 100 across 3 leaderboards, ahead of Claude Opus 5 at 83. The consensus combines Artificial Analysis, LiveBench, LMArena and Berkeley BFCL, so a model has to do well on several independent tests to rank first.
What is the best AI model for coding?
Claude Opus 5, with 78.0 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Index, the highest of the models on this leaderboard. Sort the table by Coding to see the rest.
What is the best value AI model?
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0423. It scores 58 on the consensus and lists at $0.32 per million blended tokens on OpenRouter, the most capability per dollar among models in the top half of the board.
Which AI model do people prefer?
Claude Fable 5 has the highest LMArena rating of the models here, 1507, from blind votes where people compare two answers without knowing which model wrote them.
How is the consensus score calculated?
For each leaderboard, a model gets the share of the other ranked models it beats there, from 0 to 100. The consensus is the average of those shares, with one extra neutral score of 50 added, so a model measured by two leaderboards cannot outrank one measured by five on a lucky pair. A model needs at least two leaderboards to be ranked. Each source keeps the model's best run, for example its highest reasoning setting.
Why do AI leaderboards disagree?
They test different things. Artificial Analysis and LiveBench grade answers to exam-style questions, Vals AI grades enterprise tasks against expert answers, LMArena counts which answer people prefer, and BFCL checks whether tool calls are correct. A model tuned for chat can win votes and trail on maths, which is why this page shows every source's rank next to the consensus.
Where do the prices come from?
List prices per token from OpenRouter and Vercel AI Gateway, blended at three input tokens to one output token, the ratio Artificial Analysis uses. Where both gateways list a model, the cheaper one is shown. Prices exclude caching discounts and batch rates.
How often is the LLM leaderboard updated?
Model prices and the Artificial Analysis scores are re-read from OpenRouter and Vercel AI Gateway every 10 minutes, and the LiveBench, LMArena and BFCL boards every hour, so the blend moves as soon as a leaderboard publishes. When each source was last read is listed under Sources and method.
