From what I understand GPT-4o will map to the most recent generated model so it will change over time. The models with the date appended will not change over time.
Google is the least confusing to me. Old school version number and Pro is better than Flash which is fast and for "simple" stuff (which can be effortless intermediate level coding at this point).
OpenAI is crazy. There may be a day when we might have o5 that is reasoning and 5o that is not, and where they belong to different generations too, snd where "o" meant "Omni" despite o1-o3 not being audiovisual anymore like 4o.
Anthropic crazy too. Sonnets and Haikus, just why... and a 3.5 Sonnet that was released in October that was better than 3.5 Sonnet. (Not a typo) And no one knows why there never was a 3.5 Opus.
> And no one knows why there never was a 3.5 Opus.
If you read between the lines it's been pretty clear. The top labs are keeping the top models in house and use them to train the next generation (either SotA or faster/cheaper etc).
Google isn't even the worst in my opinion. From the top of my head
Anthropic:
Claude 1 Claude Instant 1 Claude 2 Claude Haiku 3 Claude Sonnet 3 Claude Opus 3 Claude Haiku 3.5 Claude Sonnet 3.5 Claude Sonnet 3.5v2
OpenAI:
GPT-3.5 GPT-4 GPT-4o-2024-08-06 GPT-4o GPT-4o-mini o1 o3-mini o1-mini
Fun times when you try to setup throughput provisioning.
It's
GPT-3.5 GPT-4 GPT-4-turbo GPT-4o-2024-08-06 GPT-4o GPT-4o-mini o1-preview o1 (low) o1 (medium) o1 (high) o1-mini o3-mini (low) o3-mini (medium) o3-mini (high)
At this pace we are going to get to USB 3.2 Gen 1 real fast.
I don't understand why if they're gonna use shorthands to make the tech seem cooler, they can't at least use mnemonic shorthands.
Imagine if it went like this:
> GPT-4o-2024-08-06 GPT-4o

4o is a more advanced model than o1 or o3, right!?
Wait is it?? o1 is more expensive I think
Imagine when they launch o4...
Mistral vs mistral.rs, Llama and llama.cpp and ollama, groq and grok. It's all terrible.
Claude Sonnet 3.5...no, not that 3.5, the new 3.5. o3-mini, no not o2. yes there was o1, yes it's better than gpt-4o.
Don't forget that o3 is actually the second model in the o-series but can't be named o2 due to obvious reasons.
