# Rival

> Rival (rival.tips) is an AI model comparison site that publishes pre-generated outputs from 343+ AI models against the same prompts. Models are ranked on real outputs, not benchmarks, across coding, math, creative writing, roleplay, design, reasoning, and more. Rankings update daily from community blind-vote duels. Raw responses, rankings, and stylometric fingerprints are public and free through the APIs below. Offline research editions are paid one-time downloads with free previews.

Rival skips synthetic benchmarks and shows what models actually do. Same prompt, every model, real outputs. Rankings are derived from a multi-signal composite (Rival Index from blind votes, task coverage, recency, and model tier) so newer flagship models surface promptly.
