Recently, a preview version of a model surfaced on X (Twitter), sparking discussions. Many netizens remarked: *“Wait... ERNIE 5.0 isn’t even officially released, and it’s already climbing the charts.”*
Indeed, the “preview” is **Baidu’s brand-new ERNIE-5.0-Preview-1022**.

## What is LMArena?
**LMArena (LMSYS Chatbot Arena)** is widely considered the evaluation platform closest to real-world model usage:
- Uses **anonymous blind testing** — two models’ answers to the same prompt are voted on side-by-side.
- Relies on **human preference via Elo ratings**.
- Avoids fixed, academic-style benchmarks (like MMLU or GPQA), which can favor rote-trained models.
> High scores here reflect *practical usability*, not just test optimisation.
