The user observes that LM Arena has significantly reduced the visibility of newly released open-source models, with only the largest ones typically being included. This change means that major releases like Qwen3.6 and Step 3.7 flash are no longer shown on the platform.
- The platform now excludes most new open models from display, retaining only the largest entries.
- Specific notable omissions include the entire Qwen3.6 series and the Step 3.7 flash model.
- This shift limits the ability to compare new open-source options against closed models via the arena.
