From the project page: pronounced as "RwaKuv" That is still quite challenging to pronounce, maybe one of "rwkv" -> "raw-kv" -> "rawk-v" -> "rock-v"?

- dragonwriter 4y ago“RwaKuv” seems like it would pretty closely match “Rock of”
- OJFord 4y agoI would assume Rwa like Rwanda, Kuv like covet. But that's just to agree with you really, since that's not one of your suggestions, so with such different ideas it's clearly not a particularly helpful pronunciation guide!
- rvz 4y agoThat is the problem. Unfortunately, this will be forgotten over the OpenAI hype brigade. I thought Stable Diffusion was a bad name due to its very technical name. But now I have seen something even worse for LLMs. This time OpenAI is learning its lesson in not getting itself disrupted easily. For any hope of challenging them, we need to be better at names. Even the name 'Bitcoin' caught on. Same with iPhone. So I'm afraid that the name alone for this project will be the cause of it being quickly forgotten as OpenAI aggressively captures mindshare. The same with 'Bard'; a horrific name. Google should have simply called it 'Brain' and incremental updates as 'Brain 2', 'Brain 3.6', etc and renamed their existing AI division to Google Brain Labs. Easy. How is that difficult?
- mach1ne 4y agoI beg to differ. Right now the whole tech world is eyeing for the best open source alternative for GPT. A techy name matters little if it works and is accessible.
- rvz 4y ago> Right now the whole tech world... Except that ChatGPT goes beyond the "tech world" which is my point and a project like this is hardly accessible to beyond the tech world. I don't see people calling 'Google' PageRank.
