Previously it was much more obvious which model to reach for depending on your use case because they had the mini and nano naming conventions.

Getting rid of that seems like a step back. Just a personal nit though.

I've seen buzz about this elsewhere as well but to me effort levels seem more like spend limits disguised with another word. I don't think they should even exist.

The naming convention is bizarre and doesn't really mean anything to normies. Trying to pick between "Sol" and "Terra" is like asking the average person if they want the Max or the Ultra chip.

The sun is bigger than earth which is bigger than the moon, it's pretty simple really

Which is cheaper to use? The size euphemism is a really roundabout description vs "Nano" and "Pro" for the layperson.

What about Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus?

Also just as confusing. Shouldn’t take away from the point though. Both can be bad names.

Bizarre? The size of the model is in the name. Sun, earth, and moon don't mean anything?

My guide was to pick the best model on "High" for 99% of tasks.
