Questions

Is Claude Sonnet 5.5 or Kimi K3.1 Pro better for computer use?

In eligible head-to-head comparisons, Claude Sonnet 5.5 has a 16.7% decisive win rate and Kimi K3.1 Pro has 50.0%. 33.3% end without a decisive preference. This matchup is provisional; the evidence is limited.

Does completion mean the task was verified?

No. Completion for Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Kimi K3.1 Pro records whether the agent reported finishing. Human preferences, task success and next-action recovery are different measurements.

How should I compare speed and cost?

Read speed and estimated cost alongside completion and human preference. An early failure can be fast. Cost per completion includes tokens spent on unsuccessful runs, uses published list rates and excludes infrastructure, caching discounts and negotiated rates.

How often are these comparison results updated?

Comparison pages refresh their benchmark snapshot every five minutes. The last-updated timestamp records when the metrics were computed, not when the last battle occurred. Model rank may move between snapshots.

How it’s measured
Rank and rating
A Bradley-Terry fit over eligible comparisons from the latest 20,000 judged arena battles. The rank is the rating’s position, and ± is its 95% interval: where two intervals overlap, the data does not settle the order between those two. A model under the provisional floor is listed and not rated.
Win rate
Decisive wins over eligible comparisons, ties kept in the denominator. Opponent mixes differ between models.
Completion, speed and cost
The leaderboard’s non-synthetic arena runs. Completion is the agent’s own report, not verified success. Speed is the median run time, unsuccessful runs included. Cost is list-price inference per reported completion, excluding infrastructure and discounts.
Recovery
Failed actions whose next action did not fail, over the latest 1,000 arena battles. A proxy for recovery, not task success.
What this covers
Operator experiments are excluded. The windows measure different things and should not be pooled. A human preference is not a verified success label. Results refresh every five minutes.
