Chatbot Arena (Text - Hard Prompts (English)): leaderboard
arena.ai’s text leaderboard restricted to battles whose prompts are in English and are flagged hard (specific, complex and demanding domain knowledge). It is the same crowd-vote Arena Score as the headline board, refitted over that category’s votes alone, so the ordering can differ from the overall table and the error bars are wider.
Metric: Arena Score. Source: arena.ai. 412 models tracked.
