Why SoTA (uppercase “T”) instead of SotA (lowercase “T”) ?

“State of [T]he Art” versus “State of [t]he Art”.

If not SotA then at least SOTA, which is more accurate.

It should be SotA.
Does that make DeepSeek V4 Flash MiniSotA? This dev in the Twin Cities would like to know.
I think they call it Minipop there
An cross of SoT (source of truth) and SotA (state of the art). SotA looks weird, admittedly.
“SoTA” as “source of truth agent” would be a pretty annoying/funny acronym to unless upon the world.
SOTA police
its sota like it was a joke
I suspect typo.

probably buckeye fans
“State of THE art.”
