Arena Creative Writing
LMArena · Anonymous human comparisons of stories, poetry, and other creative expression assess reader engagement.
What it measures and how
Uses creative_writing in the official text_style_control dataset, with style-controlled Bradley–Terry scores and confidence intervals. Overall text and professional-writing results are not substituted.
How this evidence is used
Ranked: 5% comes from the existing 10% human-preference budget, leaving 5% for overall text. The total does not increase. All Arena tasks share an evidence family.
Evaluation results
Fixed rules select one representative configuration per public model. Anonymous test models are omitted. Original ranks are retained, with up to 30 models per evaluation.

Evaluation limits & attribution
A classifier categorizes open user prompts; they are not all novels or Chinese writing. Votes reflect personal preferences and overlap with Arena overall text and professional writing, so this is not another independent evaluator.
