How to read the scores
- AA Elo: the Elo score from the Artificial Analysis speech arena. Listeners blind-compare two clips and pick the better one; "±" is the 95% confidence interval.
- TTS Arena Elo: Elo from TTS Arena V2 community blind votes. The two boards use different scales, so do not subtract one from the other.
- If the gap between two models is smaller than their combined intervals, the order is not statistically reliable; treat them as the same tier. More samples or votes mean narrower intervals.
