My line of thinking was that for the average HN reader, who has probably read 'GPT-3' perhaps 500 times by now (every instance of which was referencing OpenAI's infamous 175B model), it may be confusing for them to see this with the same label, when the release is not comparable as far as parameters/performance (yet). But as yourself and another commenter noted, it is still the GPT-3 architecture (or hopefully isomorphic to it), so I appreciate your correction as well.
