Model leaderboards rank AI models across standardized benchmarks and publish scores publicly to guide selection.
Common Leaderboards
Transparency Checklist
- Public eval code and dataset hashes.
- 95 % confidence intervals.
- Disclosure of test-time compute.
Design Trade-offs
- Public leaderboards drive progress but encourage overfitting.
- Private benchmarks may better match enterprise tasks but lack transparency.
Current Trends (2025)
- Continuous evaluation pipelines auto-score new commits.
- Multi-modal boards aggregate text, vision, audio into single page.
- Leaderboards offer paid "certified run" badges for reproducibility.
Implementation Tips
- Host raw outputs for community auditing.
- Rate-limit submission frequency to avoid spam.
- Use Docker images to standardize runtime.
