The naming of this stuff is so bad. Hydrogen (1) is dumber than Carbon (6), sure. But Carbon (6) is smarter than Argon (18)!

The labs use a pretty clear progression: Luna -> Terra -> Sol -> Astra; Haiku -> Sonnet -> Opus -> Fable/Mythos. Google doesn't make it easy.

Claude is the same really. Fable is a short story, so makes no sense in this hierarchy, and Opus have to think it as derived from "Magnum Opus" to make sense, else Opus by itself simply is a piece of music by a composer and would've been more appropriate for low-reasoning model to be used by sub-agents.

Anthropic, OpenAI and literally everyone else's naming schemes are in the same class of silly. The regurgitated complaints on every single thread are really getting tired.
