Scenario guide

Best AI models for Realtime Chat / Voice

A streaming consumer chat or voice assistant. Speed and time-to-first-token matter as much as raw quality — a slightly less smart model that responds instantly often beats a frontier model that pauses to think.

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.
