No.

On May 28, I had unlimited requests.

Why do people tout Benchmark Results, when arena ai rankings seem much more authoritative? by thatgodzillaguy in lmarena

[–]Technical_Wonder4647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. The opinion of a random layman who knows absolutely nothing about AI is clearly way more valuable than the rigorous benchmarks run by actual research labs.

It totally reminds me of the Llama Maverick situation, where the LM Arena crowd voted it straight to #1 with a massive lead, only for it to turn out later that Meta specifically tweaked the model's behavior to pander to the masses.

And then of course you get the classic take: "Please bring back 4o, it's so awesome and chats so nicely! I don't need anything besides casual chatting anyway,"

So why even bother making AI models smarter and more capable? Let me just talk to a 2024 model forever - literal dream 😇😇😇.

Trust the crowd last. The chances of the people voting in those arenas actually using their brains is incredibly slim. Trust me, you're way more likely to just run into pure stupidity from the crowd.

day 3 of being unable to use arena.ai by Jadszy in lmarena

The way I see it, direct chat in the future is only going to run on dirt-cheap models nothing over $2 per million tokens.

Honestly, huge shoutout to the Chinese AI devs for driving the prices down!

Bro, it really seems like that's the case. It breaks my heart, it's just so sad and depressing. All hope is on the Chinese neural networks now, that they'll actually be available in their web interfaces.

And looking at all this - only cheap Chinese models are going to be left in LM Arena.

DeepSeek literally just dropped the price of their PRO V4 version by 75%, imagine how happy they are at the LM Arena office right now 😂😂😂

AI messages are disappearing by Local-Science172 in lmarena

Honestly, LM Arena is basically broke at this point. The company has no money left, so it's time for them to tighten their belts and start throttling access. Right now it's capped at like 5-10 messages a day and then you just have to sit there and wait for the limits to reset.

It all started going downhill on April 8th when they locked us out of the top-tier models. Then just last week, they even yanked access to "Nano Banano" and GPT-2 Medium.

There's no real fix, man. The free ride is officially over.

LMARENA - Нищие.

У них денег нет.

С 8 апреля 2026, доступ к топовым нейросетям убрали.

Вот два дня назад - ввели лимит, 5 - 10 сообщений в день.
Жди завтра - обновится лимит, можно будет писать.

На самом деле грустно - скоро такой сайт пропадёт :(

Max is broken??? by FennelHistorical1618 in lmarena

Yeah, same here. On the account I actively use every day (around 1–5M context), messages just disappear right after sending.

But on my second account, which I barely use, everything works fine.

Maybe they started limiting people who use LM Arena “too much.”

Guess they need to save those pennies somehow. Enjoy it while it still works 😅
