davidad maps the emerging convention in AI model naming schemes
davidad · x · 2026-10-04
- davidad summarizes the converging model naming convention: {{brand}}-{{x}}.{{y}}, where the brand name encodes both the model's size class and its maker.
- Examples: astra/sol/terra/luna, fable/opus/sonnet/haiku, krypton/argon/neon/helium — each a word ladder implying a small-to-large model hierarchy.
