Every year seems like we get worse at naming things in non confusing ways. I am waiting for the o1-pro-max now, pro max ultra and pro max ultra plus.
Then you’ll know what the naming AI was trained on.
It’s hard because there are multiple dimensions being upgraded at different cadences. Architecture, parameter count, etc.
I was recently laid off from OpenAI. My job was coming up with names for their models.
Is this because of USAID funding cut?

It's not a "layoff" if you were fired for poor performance/picking bad names.

Microsoft already mastered this decades ago with a dozen different license tiers for Windows with unintuitive feature sets.

Not to mention the Xbox iterations...
Chat GPT series X, not compatible with Chat GPT X.
Frankly. Whoever decided on this last gen naming at MS needs to come forward. I would love to know what crazy unacceptable collection of circumstances allowed that to happen.

Off by one and naming things.

For me I was sold on the consistency. o1 does really great at several programming problems, but o1-pro does great on these problems 4 of 4 tries. I get a good answer more often with o1-pro than with just o1, or even o3-mini-high.

o1-pro is indeed pretty great, but I find that I can iterate several times with Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental (or whatever their latest reasoning model is called these days) between o1-pro's responses. It's almost too slow for interactive use cases.

Yeah. I've found out that you can start out with o3-mini-high and then switch over to o1-pro, or the other way around. Helps to iterate a bit faster.
o1-pro is "o1 on steroids" and was the first selling point of the $200/month Pro subscription but they later also added "Deep Research" and Operator to the Pro subscription.
