Choose a shared evaluation protocol to compare model scores. Versions, sources and configurations stay separate.
Atlas snapshot captured 10/19/2026, 10:20:28 AM UTC. This is an import timestamp, not the evaluation date. Coverage may be incomplete.
Reviewed recommendation and limits
Use blind human preferences to compare image outputs for the evaluated prompts.
AA-Image-T2I v2.1 and AA-Image-Editing v2.1, separate tracks. Imported groups below may use different protocols; this review does not certify each run. Preference is not objective correctness. Prompt mix and correlated votes affect interpretation. Imported Elo rows without a reported version are not certified as these editions.
