🟣 #16950 issue: Arena model does not appear to use sub-model settings
This is the closest match: it reports that Arena models do not honor sub-model settings, which is directly related to Arena-specific configuration not being preserved. The avatar/profile picture resetting to default appears to be another Arena model setting not being retained.

🟣 #17451 issue: Model profile picture missing on mobile ui
This issue is about model profile pictures not displaying correctly in the UI. While it’s mobile-specific and a rendering bug rather than saving the avatar, it is still directly about model profile images and may overlap with the same UI codepaths.

🟣 #6275 feat: arena model
This is the original Arena model feature request. It provides historical context for the Arena-model subsystem that this new request extends, though it does not mention avatars specifically.

I'm still having the same issue with v0.9.4.

Edit: the issue is resolved with NEW arena models, but existing ones have the same issue for me at least. Thanks!

Edit again: Nevermind, the issue still continues for new arena models once pulling it up in a chat.
