Image generation
Results are only compared within a matching group, so a model tested one way is never ranked against a model tested another way.
Generate images from a text prompt
Ranking groups use separate scales. Compare configurations only inside the same group; EvalRank never flattens unlike systems into one leaderboard.
Cross-benchmark consensus
One ranking of models across this topic's admitted benchmarks, weighted the same way decisions are. Each score is the model's share of the best result.
