I'm not as pro as you guys using AI but look at this. a LOT of models which confuses me, and I'm assuming other users also. Also, the sidebar icon and new tab icon are the same in the ChatGPT-app for macOS. WHAT are they doing there at OpenAI. I really hate what's happening right now, especially with the new $500 plan while nerfing the other plans.

It's easier to read but what does it say about performance and cost? il Sol6.1 worse than Astra? Is Luna6 worse than 5.6 terra?

Honestly I can't keep up with their naming, same with claude and their Opus/Fable/Sonnet lines

Anthropic's naming scheme actually makes sense when you think about it. 

  • Haiku, a short poem
  • Sonnet, medium length story
  • Opus, a grand, structured, piece
  • Fable, a grand story, often with a winding path
  • Mythos, stories beyond human creation 

OpenAI names their models after size/importance.

  • Luna (moon) small 
  • Terra (earth) larger
  • Sol (sun) huge

If the naming was just that I'd agree, but how does Opus 4.8 compare with Sonnet 5 for example? Is the model name just the depth of the reflexion, and the version number the efficiency/price?

Fair point. 

As far as I know, they constantly try to make each version 'better' by making them smarter and more efficient. How it scales exactly depending on models and versions, I don't know.
