Abstract: This study evaluates the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in predicting ratings for Brazilian Portuguese user reviews. We benchmark ten LLMs, including ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4o, DeepSeek, Mistral, LLaMA (3, 3.3), Gemma (1, 2), and the Brazilian Portuguese-specific models Sabiá-3 and Sabiazinho, using two prompting strategies: simple (p1) and detailed (p2). Results indicate that ChatGPT-4o and DeepSeek achieved the highest accuracy, particularly in predicting extreme ratings (1 and 5 stars). Sabiá-3 also performed competitively, highlighting the potential of language-specific models. Models performed better in objective categories such as food and baby products but struggled with more subjective domains like automotive and games. Cost analysis showed that DeepSeek is a more cost-effective alternative to ChatGPT-4o while maintaining similar accuracy. This study provides a systematic benchmark of LLMs for rating prediction in Brazilian Portuguese, offering insights into their effectiveness and limitations.
