Summary: LMSYS Arena adds multimodal and video leaderboards

Why It Matters: The platform has expanded from simple text comparisons to ranking how AI models handle images, video, and coding. This gives users a much broader view of which models lead in specific creative and technical tasks.

What Changed:

• Added new leaderboard categories for Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video.
• Added specialized rankings for Image Editing and Text-to-Image generation.
• Introduced a "Leaderboard Overview" that snapshots performance across all modalities.
• Updated the main text leaderboard with new rankings for models like Claude 4.6 and GPT-5.2.
• Added a "Search" category to rank model grounding and retrieval capabilities.
