I agree it’s not perfect. But it’s just 3 terms those non-English speakers need to learn. Which is a lot easier than having to remember every OpenAI model name

I agree it’s not perfect. But it’s just 3 terms those non-English speakers need to learn. Which is a lot easier than having to remember every OpenAI model name and how it compares to every other one.
- rootnod3 1y agoSure. I wasn't arguing that OpenAI's naming is better. It is way worse. But Anthropic also doesn't have a sure-fire naming scheme there either.
- hnlmorg 1y agoBut it’s still better. Which is the point myself and the GP are making. It might not be perfect, but it’s still a hell of a lot better.
- rootnod3 1y agoSo, 3 arcane barely used words in daily conversation are better than OpenAI's 4, 4o, 5, etc?
- hnlmorg 1y agoYes because 5 is smaller than 4, and 4o isn’t even a number. Also, some ChatGPT models include “gpt” in the name. Others do not. I cannot guess what model string I need to pass. Whereas with Anthropic I can. And if I have to look it up each time on OpenAIs website, then it’s clearly garbage. Also the “arcane barely used” part of your post is entirely subjective. I get you want to make the point that Anthropic naming is poor to support your point about OpenAI, but you’re over exaggerating your point there.
- rootnod3 1y agoBut wouldn't the same hold true for Anthropic? Claude 5 Sonnet wouldn't imply that it is larger than Claude 4 Sonnet. The numbering there doesn't mean anything. WITHIN the numbering the sonnet, opus etc mean things, maybe, but it doesn't help anything.
- NegativeLatency 1y agowhat's so wrong with: small, medium, and large?
- hnlmorg 1y agoWhat makes you think that I think there’s anything wrong with s/m/l?
