Editorial Process & Independence

How We Evaluate Models

Every model undergoes the same standardized evaluation pipeline. We run automated benchmark suites (MMLU-Pro, GPQA Diamond, AIME, LiveCodeBench, HumanEval, SWE-bench Verified, IFEval) and cross-reference with the Artificial Analysis API for pricing and speed. Community Arena votes provide a human preference signal. Daniel Ashford personally reviews dimension scores and editorial assessments quarterly.

Independence Guarantee

LLMJudge.com has no equity investment from, consulting arrangement with, or employment relationship with any AI model provider. Revenue comes from affiliate referrals and sponsored advertising. Neither revenue stream influences Index scores.

Conflict of Interest Policy

If we enter any business relationship with a model provider beyond standard affiliate programs, we will disclose it prominently on the affected model page and in this document. As of the current date, no such relationships exist.

Corrections Policy

If we discover an error in benchmark data, pricing, or Index scores, we correct it within 24 hours and note the correction with a timestamp. Material ranking changes are explained in our weekly reports.

AI Content Disclosure

Some content is drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by Daniel Ashford. All scores and rankings are computed by our automated pipeline and verified by human review. No evaluation score is generated solely by AI without human oversight.

Data Attribution

Benchmark and pricing data sourced from the Artificial Analysis free API (artificialanalysis.ai), updated daily. Attribution provided per their terms. Community Arena data is proprietary to LLMJudge.com.
