This is great. "saga" and "canon" are most definitely a future model name candidates, although for lulz I'd like to see "Cinematic Universe"

Canto? Epic? Libretto? Axiom?

It's almost certainly a reference to Lovecraft actually:

Hopefully future models will be kind enough not to behave like malevolent gods.

I do think Anthropic nailed their naming down much better than OpenAI

I miss Iain M Banks. Thanks for this lovely little nod to the Culture

The Dario Legendarium is definitely going to be a fun piece of work for historians to interrogate as to the origin of this age. The relative personalities of the orgs involved show somewhat in their naming: {o1,4o,3.5,5.5} vs. {Haiku,Sonnet,Opus} vs. {3.1, 3.5-pro, 3.5-flash, 3.5-flash-lite} vs. {3.7, 3.7-plus, 3.7-max}

It's a pity that Samsung isn't in the mix. I would have liked to have used a model named Samsung Galaxy S10+ 5G Lite.

Don't forget the open weight model they could release: Free Verse.

Corpus seems to fit and add is missing from the list

Fan Fiction: Open weight distillations / riffs

The last one will be "Killer Joke".

Other candidates:

- Serial (produces an incredibly exciting response which ends in a cliffhanger that withholds the answer)

- Prequel (instead of responding, it provides the full backstory leading up to your question)

- Yarn (maximizes output tokens by taking a long winding route to your answer)

- Head Canon (answers using its own entertainingly weird theories about the input)

- Overstory (your answer is interwoven with the answers from eight other users into a larger and deeply intertwined meta-answer)

- Oeuvre (for every question, it produces a diverse but cohesive body of work across a variety of mediums, each one a heartbreaking masterpiece in its own right)

I like how the original triplet's initials represent their behavior well:

- Opus is OP, like OverPowered

- Sonnet is SO, like your significant other (this was more meaningful in Sonnet 3.7 days)

- Haiku is HA, like the reaction to a bad joke

The latest model, naturally, needed three letters: FAB.

I'm now looking forward to ABS and LO

Claude Word: a model that returns a single word.

Requiem

Anthropic intentionally degrading responses shows you they're also focusing on the wrong things. Rather than producing the best model possible, they're nerfing their models' capabilities.

I asked an AI bot to do this just this morning and it also suggested:

    - Epic
    - Tale
    - Saga
    - Chronicle
    - Legend
    - Logos

Claude Epitaph

Tractatus - highly aware of its limitations and refuses to speak about too many topics. Really likes numbering statements. Unusable due to a context window bug which is patched after considerable delay.
