How are AI text-to-vector models ranked on Lumenfall?

Lumenfall Arena ranks AI models through blind community voting. In each matchup, two models generate from the same prompt and voters pick the better result without seeing model names. Votes are processed using TrueSkill, a Bayesian rating algorithm developed by Microsoft Research, that produces a single Elo score reflecting each model's relative quality.

What is an Elo rating for AI models?

An Elo rating is a numerical score representing a model's skill relative to other models. Under the hood, Lumenfall uses TrueSkill, which tracks two values per model: mu (estimated skill) and sigma (uncertainty). The displayed Elo is calculated as 1000 + 10 x (mu - 3*sigma), a conservative lower bound. A model must prove itself consistently across many matchups to earn a high rating.

Text-to-Vector Simplicity & Compactness Prompt Adherence

Pelican on a bike

It’s hard because it forces a model to combine the rigid mechanical geometry of a bicycle with the organic anatomy of a pelican and then compose them into a coherent scene where the bird is actually pedaling. Even leading models frequently get the frame structure wrong or misplace the pelican’s limbs, which makes it a surprisingly revealing test of spatial reasoning.

Text-to-Vector Prompt Adherence Aesthetics

Cat drinking milk

Tests multi-subject scene composition and a spatial relationship that’s easy to get wrong (boy outside, cat inside, looking through glass). The whole point is warmth and charm, not precision, so it rewards clean appealing rendering over technical accuracy.
