Scenario guide
Best AI models for Customer Support Bot
A high-volume B2C chatbot. We weight Arena (human preference) and IFEval (does it follow your formatting instructions?) heavily, and lean on cost because volume is enormous. Reliability axes (format-adherence, safety-handling) are weighted modestly because a chatbot that answers off-format or false-refuses on benign requests is unusable regardless of how smart it is.
Rankings use the same scenario weights and cost blending as the interactive leaderboard on AI Model Analyzer. Data is min-max normalised per benchmark; missing scores are skipped without penalty.
