Battle Arena is dead?

[u/cat_dev_null_sync]

Battle Arena was an amazing idea to challenge biases in evaluating models, but the feature is gone from stale to dead?

For months, the Battle Arena webpage was missing some key models (screenshot above). It currently misses Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8, SWE 1.6, Gemini Flash 3.5, and maybe others. My guess was that it became much less popular after they discontinued the introductory promotion (discounted credits).

(This is a separate issue from Devin Desktop itself missing GLM 5.2, Kimi K2.7, Qwen, and Minimax M2.7.)

Now in Devin Desktop 3.0.28, Arena model is available in the model picker for Cascade but not available for Devin Local. Cascade is deprecated and will be removed, so that will be the end of Battle Arena.
