While this may be true, it's a very common problem that people who want to demonstrate how bad a model is fail to provide a direct link or simply state the name of the model.

OpenAI is not doing us any favours by using confusing naming schemes for their models and obscuring which models people are actually working with.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say OpenAI doesn’t want us doing these tests accurately and is trying to hide something.

it’s extremely easy to see which model you are using. one’s own… difficulties understanding are not a conspiracy by OpenAI
It does not show the model version anywhere on the page on chatgpt.com, even when logged in.
Yes it does, at the top of every chat there is a drop-down to select the model, which displays the current model. It's been a constant part of the UI since forever.
No, it only says "ChatGPT Plus (Upgrade)" or "ChatGPT".

Maybe it's different if you have a paid account?

if i go to chatgpt.com on my phone not logged on at all it tells me very prominently at the top that i am using 4o mini
I usually test models using the OpenAI API which doesn't offer links the way I think you mean. If I provide some output I got from a particular model you're just going to have to take my word for it.
You can use https://lluminous.chat (bring your own key) to link to chats using any model across all LLMs.
open router is the more standard solution
They need to provide an small hash with the api result that can be verified by others.
