Best AI for agents: 57 models ranked on measured results
LMArena’s Agent Arena: people give an agent real work on arena.ai, and the arena measures how the work goes with each model in charge: tasks the user marks as done, praise against complaints, corrections carried out, shell commands and calls to tools that do not exist.

How to read this ranking
What the scores measure, what they leave out, and where each number comes from.
- What it measures
- LMArena’s Agent Arena: people give an agent real work on arena.ai, and the arena measures how the work goes with each model in charge: tasks the user marks as done, praise against complaints, corrections carried out, shell commands and calls to tools that do not exist.
- What it leaves out
- The score is how much better tasks went than with the average model in the arena, not a share of tasks finished, and it comes from the arena’s own users and tools.
- How to read the margin
- Each score carries LMArena’s 95% interval. Where two models’ intervals overlap, the sessions cannot say which is better. Rows are still numbered by score, and a row says how many models above it overlap.
- Cost per task
- The median cost of a task in the arena’s sessions, in US dollars, as LMArena records it. It depends on the model’s price and on how many tokens it spends.
- Not updated in over 120 days
- A result run more than 120 days before the newest data on these pages carries this mark, so an older result can be weighed as one.
- Prices
- The list price per million tokens from the maker’s own pricing page, read on 12 November 2026. It is a price per token, not per answer: a higher reasoning setting spends more tokens on the same question. Where AIGROW API credit sells a model, the list price is struck through and the price through the credit sits under it.

What each of them costs to run
The price list works three everyday jobs on every model, and our own benchmark runs them on real business tasks to see which pass.
