What is the best AI voice model?

The model at the top of this board, ranked by people's blind votes on Artificial Analysis. It updates every week, so the top of the table is the leader today.

How does Artificial Analysis rank these models?

People compare two voices reading the same text without knowing which model made which, and pick the better one. The votes become a rating, so beating a strong model counts for more than beating a weak one.

What does the 95% interval mean?

It's the range the model's true rating most likely sits in. When two models' ranges overlap, treat them as tied, whatever their ranks say.

What do the votes show?

How many times people voted on the model. The more votes, the tighter its interval.

Can I compare ratings across boards?

No: a rating compares the models on its own board only.

Is the top model always the best choice?

Not always. Models whose intervals overlap are close, so try the top few on your own prompts.

Why is there no price on this board?

Artificial Analysis's free data for these boards carries ratings and votes, not prices, so the board ranks quality alone.

Can I download the data?

Yes: the board's CSV lists every model with its rating, its interval and its votes.

How often is this board updated?

Every week, from Artificial Analysis's API. The date under the table shows when it was last checked.

Where do these numbers come from?

From Artificial Analysis, an independent benchmark of AI models, through its free API.
