These names are unbelievably bad. Flash, Flash-Lite? How do these AI companies keep doing this?

Sonnet 3.5 v2

o3-mini-high

Gemini Flash-Lite

It's like a competition to see who can make the goofiest naming conventions.

Regarding model quality, we experiment with Google models constantly at Rev and they are consistently the worst of all the major players. They always benchmark well and consistently fail in real tasks. If this is just a small update to the gemini-exp-1206 model, then I think they will still be in last place.

Haiku/sonnet/opus are easily the best named models imo.

as a person who thought they were arbitrary names when i first discovered them and spent an hour trying to figure out the difference i disagree. it gets even more confusion when you realize that opus, which according to their silly naming scheme is supposed to be the biggest and best model they offer is seemingly abandoned and that title has been given to sonnet which is supposed to be the middle of the road model.

you mean sonnet-3.5 (first edition, second edition)?

I have a signed copy of the first-edition

I used to agree before one of the "Sonnet" models overtook the best "Opus" model

I'm still waiting for one of them to overflow from version 360 down to One.

Just wait for One X, S, Series X, Series X Pro, Series X Pro with Super Fast Charging 2.0

Meanwhile:

Playstation

Playstation 2

Playstation 3

Playstation 4

Playstation 5

actually just for the PS5 we have: PS5 Standard Edition, PS5 Digital Edition, PS5 First Chassis Revision, PS5 Second Chassis Revision, PS5 Slim Standard Edition, PS5 Slim Digital Edition, PS5 Pro

In fairness those still follow a relatively straightforward naming convention.

The only thing that's slightly non-intuitive is how standard/digital determines whether a disc can be used to play a game. But every other aspect of the naming could be understood by a person new to the category.

Unlike Sony, Google attempts to confuse people for people to use their limited models as they are free to run and most won't pay.

I completely agree! I'm currently using Gemini's "2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental with apps" model.

Thankfully the names aren’t as bad as how Sony names their products like earphones

Deepseek Reasoner is a pretty good name for a pretty good model I think.. pity the performance is so terrible via the api

What do you use LLMs for at rev? And separate question, how does your diarization compare to deepgram or assembly AI.

Can you come up with better names?

GPT-2, GPT-3, GPT-4.

Google AI. Google AI 2. Google AI 3. - for google

AIPal. AltmanAI. PayAI. - for Altman

Flash Lite is the least bad.

They are probably using their own LLMs to generate the names.
