## How to read it

- Scores are relative ratings from the arena’s crowd-sourced evaluation, so the differences between models matter more than the absolute numbers.
- Open-weight models in the list are the Qwen, Llama, Gemma and Granite models; the GPT and Gemini models are proprietary.
- Results apply to the 27 models in the AI Index’s snapshot of the leaderboard.
- Arena ratings have no true zero, so the chart shows dots on an axis starting at 950: compare the differences between models.
