Win Rate

The share of head-to-head comparisons that one model's outputs win.

Definition

Win rate is the share of head-to-head comparisons in which one model's outputs are preferred over another's, as judged by humans or a strong model. It summarizes relative quality from many pairwise comparisons and is a primary metric in preference-based evaluations and modern leaderboards. A higher win rate means judges chose that model more often, though results depend on the prompts and judges used.
