Data credits

Arena data: Arena (lmarena-ai), dataset lmarena-ai/leaderboard-dataset, https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmarena-ai/leaderboard-dataset, licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Changes by Inadviser: the Arena scores (the Agent Arena IPS score and the text, text-to-image, text-to-video and search ratings) are rescaled to a 0-100 utility against fixed anchors set by Inadviser; the confidence interval and the observation or vote count are carried over; only a selection of models is shown on each board; where a board shows Arena's cost per task, it is shown unchanged. The dataset maintainers' method applies (https://arena.ai/blog/agent-arena-methodology/ for Agent Arena). Arena does not endorse Inadviser.

Energy cost per 100 km is computed by Inadviser from three inputs: consumption from the EEA, fuel prices from MITECO, and editorial electricity prices dated 2026-11-05 (EUR 0.12 and 0.20 per kWh at home, EUR 0.35 and 0.55 in public) that come from no dataset. The credits for the two datasets follow.
