OpenAI naming scheme makes no sense. I get naming is hard but atleast keep it consistent.
Also why are cards hundreds of pages long? Seems like a broken metaphor.
I'm a new Claude user. I get to choose between Fable, Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku. Effort medium, extra, max, high.
Makes sense.
Honestly the names of most of the frontier models are just getting more and more confusing. Maybe this one gets a pass for being a specialist model for bio. But it's hard to decide which model to use at this point, especially OpenAI.
Probably AI came up with the naming scheme ;-P Maybe they used Gemini for that or copilot.
I felt like I had a read on it right away – it's a 6[.0]-series model, and not named after space since it's specialist model, and I assumed it was named after Rosalind Franklin. Looks like the docs back that up, that it's based on Astra, which is not [yet?] at 6.1.
