This and the overly stylized model names. Mythos? Sol? Please, it's another version bump.

Anthropic at least is consistent in their naming. They're all literary genres, ever bigger ones.
OpenAI's are all unnamed or suns, so it's kinda the same picture.

Umm, no:

> GPT-1, GPT-2, GPT-3, GPT-3.5, GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini, o1-preview, o1-mini, o1, o3-mini, o4-mini, o3, o3-pro, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, GPT-4.1 nano, GPT-5, GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.4, GPT-5.4 mini, GPT-5.4 nano, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.5 Pro, GPT-5.6 Luna, GPT-5.6 Terra, GPT-5.6 Sol

Besides the constant shifting of nouns and adjectives...

Luna is the Moon and Terra is Earth.

Unnamed or celestial bodies then. That was a fine nit to pick.

The rest just aren't names, they're designations at best

... so Anthropic is more consistent with their naming and we're back to square one in this conversation.
