New AI video leaderboard: Seedance 2.5 tops photoreal, drawn-style rankings reshuffle
ArtificialAnlys · x · 2026-10-29
- Artificial Analysis updated its T2V/I2V Arena leaderboards (Elo from pairwise human preference votes).
- Dreamina Seedance 2.5 stays #1 in both text-to-video and image-to-video on photorealistic prompts.
- Drawn/animated styles reshuffle the rankings: when style comes from the source image rather than the prompt, Seedance 2.5 drops to #7 on I2V — style transfer is a different battleground.
- Top pack: Dreamina Seedance 2.0 (Elo 1132), MiniMax H3 (1126), MiniMax H3 Max (1116), Wan 3.0 (1108).
- Pricing spans $4.35/min (FLUX 3 Max) to $34.12/min (Seedance 2.5).
