Summary: LMSYS Arena adds multimodal and video leaderboards

Why It Matters: The platform is expanding beyond text to rank how AI models handle images, code, and video. This gives users a central place to see which "frontier" models actually perform best across different media types.

What Changed:

  • Updated the site title to focus on "Frontier AI Models."
  • Added a new navigation bar with categories for Text, Code, Vision, Text-to-Image, Image Edit, Search, Text-to-Video, and Image-to-Video.
  • Launched a comprehensive "Leaderboard Overview" page featuring top-10 snapshots for every category.
  • Added detailed ranking tables that include model scores, total votes, and specific links to model announcements.
  • Expanded the main "Arena Overview" table to track 600+ models across specialized metrics like "Hard Prompts" and "Longer Query."
