Eleven selected published snapshots are shown. LMArena changed its rating method during this window, including the move from Elo to Bradley-Terry in January 2024 and later style-control and frequency-reweighting changes. The selected snapshots cross LMArena rating-method changes, including Bradley-Terry, style control, and frequency reweighting.

Direct answers

How Model Gauntlet works.

What is Model Gauntlet?

Model Gauntlet publishes sourced AI model standings and a separately labeled historical race archive. Current and legacy metrics are never blended.

How current are the standings?

The current provider table uses LMArena's official text style-control overall snapshot published July 12, 2026. It includes confidence intervals and battle counts.

Does the current table continue the historical chart?

No. The current style-control Arena Score and the legacy May 2023 to August 2025 archive use incompatible methodology and inclusion rules. No cross-window change is calculated.
