🍜 New 'instant-ramen' model spotted on LMArena
A new anonymous model codenamed instant-ramen has been discovered on the LMArena platform. Judging by patterns from previous leaks (such as nano-banana, which became Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), the use of "food" codenames may indicate a new generation of models from a major provider. There is no official confirmation yet.
🌍 The appearance of new anonymous models on arenas is a standard method for pre-release testing of frontier models, allowing companies to collect user preference data before an official marketing launch.
👤 It is worth paying attention to the Battle mode on lmarena.ai — new models often appear there first, providing an opportunity to test cutting-edge technologies before their mass release.
