Or perhaps it's just the skepticism surrounding such "claims". That's why I reckon more chatbots that don't rely on an API, similar to Inflection (or Microsoft's Copilot ?), should be directly integrated into the LMSYS Leaderboard. Isn't this what they did with Gemini/Bard?
They've been talking about an API since June and it's now 9 months later with no updates on API access.
