Which AI model is actually the best? We aggregate 20+ benchmarks so you don't have to.
What is Showdown?
Tired of cherry-picked benchmarks and marketing hype? Showdown provides transparent, community-maintained rankings of AI language models across real-world categories:
- Coding - Can it actually write working code?
- Reasoning - PhD-level science, complex logic
- Agents & Tools - Function calling, browser automation
- Math - From algebra to competition problems
- Multimodal - Vision understanding
- Multilingual - Beyond English
- Conversation - Creative writing, instruction following
All data is open. All methodology is transparent. All contributions are welcome.

How Rankings Work
We aggregate scores from 20+ industry benchmarks, weighted by practical importance:
| Category | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Coding | 25% | Real GitHub issues, live coding challenges |
| Reasoning | 25% | PhD science questions, novel problem solving |
| Agents & Tools | 18% | API usage, multi-step tasks, browser automation |
| Conversation | 12% | Creative writing, following complex instructions |
| Math | 10% | Competition math, word problems |
| Multimodal | 7% | Understanding images, charts, diagrams |
| Multilingual | 3% | Performance across languages |
Scoring:
- Percentage benchmarks used directly
- Elo scores normalized to 0-100
- Missing data? We renormalize weights fairly
- Final score = weighted average across categories
