LM Leaderboard — July 2026
Large language models ranked by LMSys Arena Elo, MMLU, HumanEval, MATH, pricing, and inference speed. Refreshed regularly with live data from official provider pricing pages, Artificial Analysis, and the Arena.
What is the top LM on the Arena right now?
LMArena (formerly LMSYS Chatbot Arena) tracks pairwise human votes across hundreds of thousands of conversations. Our July 2026 snapshot below ranks 362 language models on Arena Elo plus the standard MMLU / HumanEval / MATH benchmark suite. The Arena re-ranks roughly weekly as votes accumulate; what you see is the most recent snapshot verified against the public Arena and Artificial Analysis.

How the LLM leaderboard works
We pull official provider pricing every 24 hours, Artificial Analysis benchmark snapshots weekly, and LMSys Arena Elo as it publishes. The composite quality index is a 0-100 normalization over MMLU Pro, HumanEval, and MATH, weighted by recency and cross-validated against Arena Elo. We do not accept vendor-supplied numbers without an independent reference.
Where the leaderboard is wrong
No leaderboard predicts your production accuracy. LMSys Arena rewards style and short-conversation polish; a top-Arena model can still under-perform on your specific function-calling schema or long-context retrieval workload. Build an internal eval harness before you commit. See our LMArena Elo explained and LLM routing writeups for the deep-dive.
