Recently, a bunch of new experimental models appeared on lmarena. First is the Anonymous Chatbot, a name previously used by OpenAI for their experimental models. This could potentially be the 4o update from November 11, as some users have reported noticing differences in model responses on ChatGPT. However, it’s also possible that this model represents something more advanced.
In addition, Google has introduced two new models. One of them, called Secret Chatbot, is identified as Gemini and reportedly performs very well. This could potentially be a larger version of the experimental model released last week, which Google has teased will officially arrive next week.
The second model from Google is called Mystery Gemini 3. Unlike Secret Chatbot, it does not seem to perform as impressively. Overall, Google is running a wide range of experimental models on lmarena, making it difficult to determine whether any of them stand out or represent significant advancements.
If you haven't heard of lmarena yet, it is an LLM battleground where experimental models are being added anonymously and may only randomly appear in the Battle mode.
