Summary: LMArena adds video and search model leaderboards

Why It Matters: The platform is expanding beyond text to rank how AI models handle video creation, web search, and image editing. This gives users a way to compare specialized AI tools instead of just general chatbots.

What Changed:

  • Added new leaderboard categories for Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video.
  • Added a new Search leaderboard to rank models with web-grounding capabilities.
  • Added an Image Edit leaderboard.
  • Updated the main rankings with new unreleased or preview models like Gemini 3, Grok 4.1, and GPT-5.1.
  • Expanded the "Arena Overview" table to show detailed rankings for specific skills like Coding, Math, and Creative Writing.
