Hack: Get free uncapped access to 400+ models via LMArena
heypearlai · x · 2026-08-20
A lesser-known method is using the rebranded LMArena (arena.ai), which offers free, uncapped access to 400+ models, including current frontier flagships, through Battle Mode. No credit card or login is often required. The catch is that it uses blind pairwise comparison rather than a workspace interface, making it suitable for testing hard prompts against the frontier rather than daily driving.
