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…

Strange that we don't see Chinese models named "Good Fortune 27b" or "Much Success MoE"

Surely it would be Tàiyī (Supreme One) or Tiānjī (Celestial Mechanism) in keeping with Tiāngōng (Celestial Palace) for their space station. Though naming a small model Tàiyī would sound stupid haha! Xiǎoyī!

I sometimes wonder what goes through designers heads.

The article is surely good. But it's long form and I need to pay attention to it in order to appreciate it.

Yet they decided to add an obnoxious banner to the view which cannot be hidden and keeps distracting me every few sentences by being significantly more attention grabbing then the article.

So I stopped reading. I would've likely read to the end and consequently been more willing to spend money, but I never got to that point.

Yes I have ADHD, and I'm sure other people that don't have it don't have such an issue. But to me the design for that element is in direct contrast to the content being served. If the article was short form it'd be able to ignore it, but with it being long form, I cannot and thus my experience was actually negative.

Thankyou for sharing this. I've been reading the culture series over the last few months and this beautifully articulates ideas that I've not been able to.

I like "Proverb" as smaller than Haiku too, Aphorism is also good. But seriously I want Anthropic to up its small model game. Haiku is not competitive, Deepseek v4 flash outperforms my uses for about $0.10 / $0.20. Whereas Haiku 4.5 is $1/$5. IMO Anthropic should just play the game at all the price tiers because it otherwise forces people to go elsewhere. I would probably pay for a "Proverb"/"Aphorism" class model th…

What would you use Haiku for?

For some reason I actually thought it was designed specifically to write Haikus!
