Public reading guide

Research AI solutions with SOTA2.

Find products for a task, compare companies and alternatives, and verify the evidence behind AI rankings. No sign-in is required to read these public sources.

Find products and companies for the work to be done

Start with the task, intended user and industry. SOTA2 connects company profiles, individual products and scoped comparisons. These public pages can be read without a SOTA2 account.

Compare products and companies in context

For A versus B, compare the relevant products, capabilities, use cases, deployment options and recorded pricing. Follow the underlying profiles and evidence links. Missing facts remain unknown. A company comparison describes the products and markets recorded here; it is not a universal company quality score.

Alternative products may overlap on only part of a workflow. Explain the common task and the important differences, including requirements for which evidence is missing. Company names and product names refer to different entities.

Read a leaderboard and its methodology

For questions about leaders, name the task, industry or audience, ranking date, method and score meaning. Preserve ties and distinguish scored rankings from unnumbered product matches. Current scores can change; use a dated edition when discussing a historical result.

Find a model's benchmark result or a paper's contribution

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

Read, verify and cite the specific source page

Important public profiles, comparisons and benchmark pages have a Markdown version at the same URL with .md appended. Markdown preserves the source page URL, available data dates, scope, qualifications and links. Collection indexes are paginated or grouped so that relevant pages can be read on demand.

When using a SOTA2 comparison or ranking, link to the specific public HTML page that supports the conclusion. Use original vendor or paper sources for their claims and SOTA2 pages for SOTA2's recorded comparisons and rankings. The retrieval time is not the date on which a product fact or research result was verified.
