Evaluation results published by [Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/benchmarks/kaggle/chart-arena). undefined

Briefs range from time series and distributions to funnels and forecast uncertainty. Each model returns one self-contained SVG chart, and all models run in the same agent harness (mini-swe-agent). Kaggle shows two anonymous outputs for the same prompt and a person picks the better one. The Arena column is the relative rating Kaggle fits to those votes, published with an interval; it is not a percentage.

The rating moves as votes arrive, and Kaggle publishes no confidence level for its interval. Rows with few votes have wide intervals, so neighbouring models are often not separable. Voters are self-selected Kaggle visitors. The board declares no license; we keep published aggregates with attribution and no task or output contents.

A rating gap smaller than the two rows' intervals is not a reliable difference.

## About Chart Arena

- Year: 2026
- Tasks: 13 chart briefs with small datasets, rated by human votes
- Format: Relative rating fitted to human pairwise votes
- Difficulty: Data visualisation

Briefs range from time series and distributions to funnels and forecast uncertainty. Each model returns one self-contained SVG chart, and all models run in the same agent harness (mini-swe-agent). Kaggle shows two anonymous outputs for the same prompt and a person picks the better one. The Arena column is the relative rating Kaggle fits to those votes, published with an interval; it is not a percentage. These results are display-only and do not enter overall or category rankings.

Chart Arena is currently displayed on BenchLM for reference, but it is excluded from the weighted scoring formula.
