What do these numbers mean?

Elo rating: The same system used to rank chess players. People see two results for the same prompt without knowing which model made them, and vote for the better one. Winning against strong models raises the score more.
± range: How certain the score is. A range of −8/+8 means the true score is very likely within 8 points either way. Models whose ranges overlap are roughly tied.
Votes: How many head-to-head comparisons the model has been in. More votes means a more reliable rating.
Is #1 always best for me?: Not always. Small Elo gaps are hard to notice. Also check price, speed and whether the model is available in the app you use.
