Why does Microsoft always create so many ugly, confusing, and ridiculous product names? The worst of them all is ".Net" (which is really confusing).

Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

It’s not just Microsoft. Look at the way top AI companies these days name their foundation models.

They didn’t even bother to change the name. What the fuck, guys.

Why do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

When OpenAI released their successor to GPT-4, they called it GPT-4o. Their next model after that was called o1.

But I mean, Microsoft was a pioneer in this field and is still the undisputed king of bad naming.

And when Anthropic released the successor to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, they called it…

Has anyone tried Deepseek V3? Does it work?

Keep in mind, though, there are only two hard problems in software: Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

When Google released the next version of Gemini 1.5 Pro, they called it Gemini 1.5 Pro-002 (I wish I was joking, but I’m not).
