  description

  🏆 LLM Leaderboard — compare the best AI models for text, code, image and video in one clean popup. Ringside shows live scores, weekly movement, token prices and context size, so you can choose the right AI without opening several benchmark sites.
  
  🚀 Quick start
  
  1. Pin Ringside to your toolbar.
  2. Click the icon — the LLM Leaderboard opens instantly.
  3. Switch between Text, Code, Image and Video.
  4. Sort by score, weekly movement or votes where available.
  5. Hover any row to check price, context size and details.
  6. Keep the LLM Leaderboard one click away while you read AI news, docs and launch posts.
  
  💡 Why people install Ringside
  
  💡 A live LLM Leaderboard is useful whenever a new large language model appears.
  💡 The best model for chat is not always the best model for code, image, video, long context or budget.
  💡 Developers need the best AI for coding, not just the loudest launch.
  💡 Product teams need AI model comparison before choosing an API.
  💡 The LLM Leaderboard gives you a current AI model ranking instead of stale blog screenshots.

  ❇️ How Ringside works
  
  Ringside aggregates the three leaderboards that actually matter for picking the best LLM today:
  
  ➤ Artificial Analysis — the canonical Intelligence Index that powers our llm leaderboard.
  ➤ LMArena — human pairwise voting, great signal for chat quality.
  ➤ OpenRouter — real-world API usage, shows which AI models developers actually pay for.
  
  Together they make the most honest llm leaderboard you can find. Every hour our public data pipeline pulls the latest numbers, merges them into a single LLM leaderboard, and serves it to your toolbar. The extension itself stays tiny — under 200 KB — and uses zero CPU when the popup is closed.
  
  🔥 Why people install Ringside
  
  1. They are tired of googling "which ai is best" every week — the llm leaderboard is one click away.
  2. They want to compare ai models for a specific task — code, chat, image, video — without juggling five tabs.
  3. They write about AI and need an at-a-glance ai model ranking source they can trust.
  4. They want hard numbers, not vibes, when picking a model for production.
  5. They follow new releases and want to see how a fresh model lands on the LLM leaderboard the day it launches.
  6. They want a fair ai benchmark — not a marketing chart from a single vendor.
  7. They want to spot the best LLM for coding, the best for vision, the best for long context — in seconds.
