How this ranking works

The quality score (0 to 100) is a model's percentile in blind, side-by-side votes from people comparing anonymous answers. Models whose results overlap within the margin of error are shown as tied. A model rated by few people is labelled "Limited data" and can't take first place until more votes come in.
