A leaderboard on arena.ai: users compare two search-augmented answers and vote, and models are rated with confidence intervals from the battles. Its paper (Miroyan et al., arXiv:2506.05334) released over 24,000 paired multi-turn interactions with about 12,000 votes.
User preference rises with the number of citations even when the cited content does not support the claim it is attached to, a gap between perceived and actual credibility. Preference also varies by source: community platforms are generally preferred, and static encyclopedic sources are not always judged appropriate.
Its leaderboard rewards what users prefer, and its paper shows that preference rewarding citation count over citation support. The released interactions are original outputs, preserved.
