What is Arena-Hard v2?

Arena-Hard-Auto v2 is a challenging benchmark consisting of 500 carefully curated prompts sourced from Chatbot Arena and WildChat-1M, designed to evaluate large language models on real-world user queries. The benchmark covers diverse domains including open-ended software engineering problems, mathematics, creative writing, and technical problem-solving. It uses LLM-as-a-Judge for automatic evaluation, achieving 98.6% correlation with human preference rankings while providing 3x higher separation of model performances compared to MT-Bench. The benchmark emphasizes prompt specificity, complexity, and domain knowledge to better distinguish between model capabilities.

Tier B

B

Established: 15 or more models scored, or curated RL directories rate it.

How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

How we got to tier B
  1. Adoption: 28 models scored. Tier B.
  2. Not yet read on X.
  3. In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
  4. Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.

A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.

Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
