Catalogue identity notes

Comparison-only. Arena entry 'grok-2-2024-08-13' (text). LMArena's leaderboard table (arena-leaderboard space @6f2eeeb) labels 'grok-2-2024-08-13' as 'Grok-2-08-13' (xAI, Proprietary), linking https://x.ai/blog/grok-2. Released 2024-08: xAI 'Grok-2 Beta Release' post dated Aug 13, 2024. Not on xAI's current model list. xAI later published open weights (xai-org/grok-2, 'a model trained and used at xAI in 2024') without tying them to this dated snapshot, so no run option is given.

Each result implies a score on its own, after adjusting for how hard its test is and who ran it. The score is their weighted average, with a small pull toward the middle for thinly tested models. Each test's weight is its counts column above; here it's added up by who ran the tests. How it works
