OpenArt launches creative AI leaderboard: Seedance 2.5 tops video, rankings shift by use case

azed_ai · x · 2026-09-16

OpenArt.ai launched an expert-judged leaderboard for image and video models organized around real creative workloads (ads, film, animation, e-commerce, graphic design, editing, lip sync). Seedance 2.5 (ByteDance) leads the overall video ranking at 1,125, ahead of Wan 3.0 (Alibaba, 1,047), with Seedance 2.0/2.0 Mini and Google Omni Flash rounding out the top five; MiniMax H3, Flux 3 Video, Kling 3.0 Omni and Grok Imagine 1.5 follow. Rankings shift notably across use-case boards, which the poster says shows why picking one model for everything doesn't make sense — a useful starting point when choosing which model to test per project.
