Not for OCR.
Regardless of how much some people complain about them, I really do appreciate the effort Artificial Analysis puts into consistently running standardized benchmarks for LLMs, rather than just aggregating unverified claims from the AI labs.
I don't think LMArena is that amazing at this point in time, but at least they provide error bars on the ELO and give models the same rank number when they're overlapping.
> Also, do you have preferred OCR models in your experience?
It's a subject I'm interested in, but I don't have enough experience to really put out strong opinions on specific models.
