Model Leaderboards

AI models ranked on objective, rubric-scored benchmarks — not taste.

Most AI model rankings are votes on which output people like. These are not. Every benchmark here is a fixed set of instructions graded against a published rubric, multiple runs per model, no retries — so a score means the model did what it was asked, and anyone can re-grade it from the published evidence. A model’s overall score is its mean across the benchmarks it has entered.

Image models

Image editing and generation, scored on prompt-adherence. More benchmarks are in the pipeline — each new one adds a column and reshuffles the overall score.

Scores are /100 — the sum of per-instruction marks across all of a benchmark’s published runs, so every score can be re-derived from the published images (no hidden runs). “—” means the model hasn’t entered that benchmark (edit-only and text-to-image-only models are different models and keep separate rows); overall is computed only over benchmarks entered. Full methodology, per-run images and failure analysis live on each benchmark’s page.

Geographic diversity

A different question from the table above: not is the output correct but whose world does the model default to? The Geo-Diversity Index measures how much a model varies the country it depicts for a culturally neutral prompt. Higher = more varied — not higher quality, so it is kept out of the overall score. From The Banknote Test.

Geo-Diversity and Localises are /100; US-centric is the share of readable notes that were US dollars. This board ranks variety, not quality — a high score is not a win. Full method and per-language evidence on the benchmark page.
