Do you have an alternative? Its a benchmark collection. When a benchmark gets saturated, they remove it from the index and add new ones.
I think lm-arena is a better concept that reflects the actual target users, but it only captures chat, and relies on users spending their time improving it.
https://epoch.ai/eci?view=graph&tab=release-date is at least an alternative. They are slower to update, but entirely anecdotally I find the numbers are aligned with my personal observations a bit better than AA. But I am also highly aware this is some pretty confirmation-bias heavy ares of meta-benchmark picking...
If we ignore the older releases (sonnet 5, etc that exist in that one) and the new models epoch has not benchmarked, we end up with the same order within the noise brackets as in ArtificialAnalysis.
I do trust epoch more than AA due to capital incentives, but in this case I don't think like there is a difference
