This has got to be the worst project name I've seen all year.

I think the name probably has to do with this research from Microsoft (same people involved and a lot of similarities in the way it's conceived.

HyDRA: Hybrid Dynamic Routing Architecture for Heterogeneous LLM Pools : https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.17106

  • Seems more like many heads -> one head and someone thinking it's clever.

    But could be your thing too obviously.

Why? I feel it kinda implies what the approach is. Could definitely be worse, strongly prefer this over just giving the thing a random-ass name like Laguna.

    > Hydra (sometimes stylized as HYDRA) is a fictional terrorist organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.[…] Hydra is taken over and turned into a neo-fascist international crime syndicate by Baron Wolfgang von Strucker.

I think the problem here is that we're running out of names. Which is ironic after calling everything copilot or office 365
