A comment on Claude 3 model family.

Another naming disaster! Opus is better than sonnet? And sonnet is better than haiku? Perhaps this makes sense to people familiar with sonnets and haikus and opus....es?

Nonsensical to me! I know everyone loves to hate on Google, but at least pro and ultra have a sort of sense of level of sophistication.

I know nothing about poetry and this is the order I would have expected if someone told me they had models called Opus, Sonnet and Haiku.

I think the intention was more "bigger" than better - but opus is an odd choice. haiku>sonnet>ballad maybe? haiku>sonnet>epic?

I don't know what an opus is, but the word sounds big. Maybe just because of the association with "Magnum Opus".

Haikus sound small, and sonnets kinda small too.

The EHR company Epic uses a similar naming scheme for the slimmed down version of their EHR (Sonnet) and mobile app (Haiku). Their Apple Watch app is Limerick.

A sonnet is just a sonnet but the opus is magnum.

I wouldn't say a sonnet is better than a haiku. But it is larger.
