Methodology
Models are ranked using a series of prompts involving diverse range of challenging tasks. This includes:
- Prompt adherence and understanding
- Human anatomy
- Generating text
- Diagrams and infographics
- World understanding
- Uncommon poses and expressions
- Spatial understanding
- NSFW capabilities
To prevent manipulation, the prompts are kept confidential and are regularly updated to increase difficulty as models improve. Here is a subset of prompts for your reference:
