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.

MiMo-V2-Flash from Xiaomi currently leads the Arena-Hard v2 leaderboard with a score of 0.862 across 16 evaluated AI models.
