The Dario Legendarium is definitely going to be a fun piece of work for historians to interrogate as to the origin of this age. The relative personalities of the orgs involved show somewhat in their naming: {o1,4o,3.5,5.5} vs. {Haiku,Sonnet,Opus} vs. {3.1, 3.5-pro, 3.5-flash, 3.5-flash-lite} vs. {3.7, 3.7-plus, 3.7-max} It's a pity that Samsung isn't in the mix. I would have liked to have used a model named Samsung G…

And Sony as well - AI-LLM1000XM5 Mark II.

I do think Anthropic nailed their naming down much better than OpenAI

It would be hard to do worse than OpenAI in naming

Thankfully Microsoft doesn't let it's windows or xbox team do the naming of their latest ai model, otherwise MAI flash 360 series X will take the cake

I like how the original triplet's initials represent their behavior well: - Opus is OP, like OverPowered - Sonnet is SO, like your significant other (this was more meaningful in Sonnet 3.7 days) - Haiku is HA, like the reaction to a bad joke The latest model, naturally, needed three letters: FAB. I'm now looking forward to ABS and LO

Lo! I show you the Overclaude!

Anthropic intentionally degrading responses shows you they're also focusing on the wrong things. Rather than producing the best model possible, they're nerfing their models' capabilities.

People believing myths and fables are factual perhaps can expect to be a little bit disappointed.

Was thinking similarly.

"Fable" is not the name I would have chosen for a product that has to argue for the fact of its own economic viability but it is the correct mood. Perhaps Anthropic is trolling Zitron.

I miss the days when the dropdown menu (in their consumer product with a billion users) asked me if I wanted to use o3, 4o, 4o-mini, o4-mini, gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, or gpt-4.5 (Research Preview).
