# Multilingual AI Leaderboards LILT Builds A Leaderboard For AI Agents Across Global Languages By Ellen Smith | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-09-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multilingual-ai-benchmarks References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lilt-launches-aurora-the-first-multilingual-ai-leaderboard-that-measures-frontier-models-on-non-english-enterprise-agentic-tasks-grounded-in-language-and-culture-302894528.html)  LILT built AURORA to give AI teams a clearer way to compare how agent systems perform outside English, a blind spot that can turn into bad customer-facing decisions. As a [multilingual AI leaderboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/promptization) for frontier models, it ranks systems on non-English work across [action-taking and culturally grounded tasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/action-selecting-ai-models) instead of leaning on English-heavy tests. Because LILT's benchmark tasks are created and checked by native-language domain experts, the scores are closer to the way regional users actually phrase requests and judge answers. LILT also found that coding leaders change by language, so a model choice that looks strongest on a broad chart may not be the best fit for a specific market. For brands, this turns model selection into a market-by-market decision instead of a single global pick. Teams rolling out [multilingual agents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/langflow) can catch weaker performance earlier and set expectations around support, localization, and workflow design with less guesswork.
