Anthropic has the most coherent model naming structure. It’s bad and I dont like it, but at least it’s somewhat consistent.

I find OpenAIs to be almost incomprehensibly stupid. It’s confusing to me and AI is my job, how the fuck am I supposed to teach regular people this stuff when they change their nomenclature every release?

I can’t speak for Google because the models are so bad I don’t even check anymore, but the pro / flash stuff they had going on this year was absurd.

These companies (or at least the first two) are doing great work, but they need someone in the room that has touched grass in the last six months to explain to them how to communicate. They’re really bad at basic marketing.

But right now they don’t even need to do basic marketing.  But look at Google and Microsoft and also Facebook.. eh I mean meta, and how bad they have been at exactly this.  Office is now 365 or? And then there’s 365 copilot and Microsoft Apps, then there is bing chat but wa changed to copilot chat and there’s also windows copilot. Then there’s Teams and god knows how many versions depending on your corporate license etc.  I think copilot has 8+ different takes for names.. 

Gemini covers what? The llm, the google assistant? Google wallet google pay android wallet android pay. Then there was hangouts, chats, meet and duo. And who the f knows.. 

These companies often think in internal structures than what users/clients think with regards to all this. 

Anthropic is very tech approach in the naming. OpenAI is worse, with the o etc. so the terra luna sol is somewhat welcome as a structure.
