But 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.

So, 3 arcane barely used words in daily conversation are better than OpenAI's 4, 4o, 5, etc?

  • Yes 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.

    • But 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.
