Latest update (11-11 12:43): Code leaderboards have the shortest median time at first place

Overview: Design Arena says the median run at first place is 19 days on its 15 Code leaderboards, the shortest of its categories. The company reports medians of 26 days for Video, 31 for Image, 42 for Office and 72 for Audio.

The figures come from a post by Design Arena on X and measure how long a model holds first place, not how long the models themselves stay in use.
