How AISOTA scoring works

Each model is scored against the sources on that board. Within each source, models are ranked and converted to a 0–100 percentile. A model's AISOTA score is the weighted average of its percentile ranks across sources. SOTA marks today's #1.

Data is collected automatically from public APIs each day. Missing cells mean the source does not list that model.
