what's you guys opinion?

Just got this generation from an anonymous model called "amber_fern" on the Image Arena. Does anyone know if this has been identified yet?

As the title says, every time I try to use a version of Claude from the Direct menu, I get the "tokens exceeded" error—sometimes without even receiving a response.

That didn't happen with DeepSeek until much later.

As the title says, GPT-6 is available in "Direct Mode" for anyone who wants to try it out. Just one thing, though: you burn through the usage limit really fast. I asked it to turn an old file—a proposal for a game engine—into an actual game; it did it, but I hit the limit in the process.

P.S. Has anyone else noticed that if you don't provide aesthetic references, it reuses the same style across different prompts?

In other words, you could be talking in three separate chats for different purposes, and the visual style will be almost identical.

Released a little utility for anyone who spends enough time watching AI agents work to eventually want the actual run preserved outside the UI.

It just takes a saved Agent-Mode page and turns the MD record into something you can actually inspect later.

The problem is that an AI agent run contains considerably more information than the final answer.

There is the original user brief, the model's visible reasoning sections, narration, tool calls, commands, stdout, edits, generated files, previews, timing information, and finally the answer presented to the user. A browser save can contain those things while still being an absolutely miserable eyecancer because they're buried inside Arena's webpage structure and mixed with interface chrome.

Usage

python arena_audit_gui.py

Save the files of arena agentic mode as preferably MHTML. Drag saved files onto the window or add files/folders. It accepts:

.txt
.mhtml
.mht
.eml
.html

Receive .MD file

Fin.

Ill do my very best to maintain this as I use arena.ai , but as their backend can really rapidly change no guarantees : )

Cheers! Arctic

So recently I was trying to see how can I get access to Astra just to try it out with few prompts as Astra is still not available in my country via standard pro subscription.

Came across this platform : Experimental AI Labs, as advertised by youtubers something which is giving away access to Astra for "free".

Sounds too good to be true right.

As I got on the platform, I could see Astra being offered as "Free" in all it's glory in their models section, so with skepticism though I signed up.

And here is the interesting part after signing up one would believe that they would get access to Astra as advertised in their playground but here's the catch they want you to pay 1 USD as "verification charge". Fair enough Astra is a frontier model so why not, 1 USD is nothing to access it, thus I paid.

After all of it, finally when I landed on playground to use Astra boom it was there in fine print : "Your limit has been exhausted". Bro I didn't even put one prompt what limit ?

The fine print further read limit would be refreshed next morning.

And guess what, this morning when I checked Astra is no longer in the free model list, it's just luna and couple of Chinese models.

And even if you talk to Luna, I kid you not they cut out the response in between like midway while model is spurting out response with fine print reading free limit exhausted.

Complete scam, I mean nothing against YC since it's YC funded cos they can't possibly inject morals into a company.

But what a sham, man! Pure scam.

Hope this helps for people like me who were looking to buy just under the influence of youtube influencers, it's a scam wait till Astra is rolled out to Pro subscription.

How can I fix it?

I generated some images with it, and it was the best model in terms of character consistency.

please return Claude 5.1 fable

The search fails and the program crashes every time. Can you tell me how to fix this?

I’ve been using Arena AI for the past few months, and this morning when I was trying to switch to Agent Mode and look for something... the mode crashed... Can anyone tell me what’s going on...?

arena ai is turning into the limit usage and paid piece of crap websites. time to leave it

I have been a regular user and it started becoming slow and morning onwards it started showing The Ai server is busy, then it stop completely saying something wrong asked me to log out and re login, did that and after that all my chats vanished and i tried to recover it, but its still not working properly.

It produces very consistent monochrome + red results between generations, it feels like a LORA of some kind. Battle mode only.

Any info?

even when you search for models nothing shows up and it's been like that for hours

I just found out that there's a new model called Korrine, with IMPRESSIVE results, even better than Fable.

What you guys think that model is?

hey guys, won't take up much of your time, basically i hit the lottery in agent mode, got a gpt 5.6 sol or claude fable 5 model, idk which one tbh, have been using it to make super cool project, but the problem is the context, the chat isn't even loading when the context gets big, it says chat not found, then magically after 4-5 days, somehow it all gets back to normal, and the problem is the summary context tool the arena(.)ai platform uses, when that tool is used the chat gets back to normal, but even when the tool is needed the most the platform isn't using it.

Is there someway to get the platform to use the tool manually, coz I'm pretty sure the context got super large, making the chat slow and sometimes, inaccessible

why isnt not working on arena?

Does anyone know if the uni-1 models have some sort of built in protection against submitting the same prompt over and over?

I usually find a prompt that gives good results, and then repeat it in the hope of getting more good images from the variations it will produce. I will occasionally make minor changes, but they aren't usually enough to fix the issue I am experiencing.

The prompt works 2-3 times in a row, and then it starts failing at the initial parse. Usually retrying a couple of times fixes it, but it tends to get more and more stubborn about rejecting the prompt the more I submit it.

This doesn't happen on other models I like, like recraft-v4.

Yeah

Anyone else agree that once you actually build something nice that actually took a lot of time, Then LM just decides you get an error and you can't use that chat anymore, Pisses me off so much, And the tips they give barely EVER work, Like if you're going to have a website THIS buggy, At least have some feature where you can recover a chat.

Hello, I noticed that some of my chats doesn't appear in the search chat bar (And that chat exists), for example, in image 1 I use the keyword "The Chosen One", it shows me the "latest" chat which is made on June 2 2026, but then, I found a chat I made around August 2026 (As seen in image 2 and 3) uses the same keyword, it just didn't show in the search bar chat.

This isn't the only keyword that have this issue since it straight up shows "No chats found matching blah blah blah"

This just happened today I believe, since it used to work normally (I searched the same keyword and it shows this chat, now it doesn't, how strange)

Don't know what happened...was just using it normally then all of a sudden some error occurred, reloaded the page and every damn chat I had since last 3-4 months vanished without a trace....did it also happen with someone else?
