## About

### What it is

Open LLM Leaderboard is a web app for tracking, ranking and comparing open large language models and chatbots in an open, reproducible way. It has a React front end and a FastAPI back end, and it runs as a Docker app.

### Who it suits

It suits researchers, model builders and developers who need to compare open models side by side before they pick one.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AI research | Researchers | Compare open models in a reproducible way | Sort the table and pin a few models |
| Model development | Model builders | See how their model ranks against others | Search for a model by meaning |
| Software | Developers | Pick an open model for a project | Filter the table, then compare pinned models |

If you want to run a model yourself, you can skip it, because the page ranks models and does not host them.

### Where to use it

- A web browser, on the Space's page on Hugging Face
- Windows, macOS or Linux with Docker, from a local build of the Space's files

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Rank open models | Researchers | An interactive table with sorting and filtering |
| Find a model | Developers | Results from a semantic model search |
| Compare a shortlist | Anyone | Pinned models side by side |

### How to set it up

- A web browser, which is all the online page needs
- Docker and Python with pip, for a local copy
- The settings listed in .env.example

1. Open the Space's page on Hugging Face to use it online. Nothing needs installing.
2. For a local copy, install the Hugging Face hub package and download the Space's files.
3. Move into the downloaded folder.
4. Build the Docker image, then run it with port 7860 published.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download open-llm-leaderboard/open_llm_leaderboard --repo-type space --local-dir open_llm_leaderboard
cd open_llm_leaderboard
docker build -t open_llm_leaderboard .
docker run -it -p 7860:7860 open_llm_leaderboard
```

The README also gives a Compose route for development.

```bash
docker-compose up
```

### How to use it

Open the page and use the table. It is a modern React interface, with dark and light modes and a layout that adapts to small screens.

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Interactive table | Sorts and filters the leaderboard |
| Semantic search | Finds models by meaning and not by exact name |
| Pin | Keeps chosen models in view for comparison |
| Virtualization | Keeps a long table fast to scroll |

### Example

Sort the table by a column you care about, pin three models that look interesting, and compare them side by side while you decide which to try.

### For newcomers and experts

Open the Space page and sort the table first. Then pin two or three models, so you can read them next to each other.

The front end uses React, Material-UI, TanStack Table with TanStack Virtual, and an Express server for production. The back end is FastAPI, with services for the leaderboard, models, votes and the Hugging Face API.

The React page asks the back end for data → FastAPI services build the leaderboard → The Hugging Face API supplies model data → The page renders a virtualized table

### Good to know

The online copy runs on upgraded CPU hardware, and a local copy needs the settings from .env.example.

- License: Apache 2.0
- Cost to run: the settings in .env.example, and Docker for a local copy
- Data it reaches: model data from the Hugging Face API

As of 2026, the top 4 models on that leaderboard are still descendants. The weird finding: single-layer duplication…
