- 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)
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.
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.
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.
This is a well executed joke, from the design to the shortness to the being on point to the abrupt punchlines when one looks at the lower ones and it also vibes well with what we all were thinking anyway, and the unexpected seriousness of the title.

Users are enemies. Customers are thieves
People believing myths and fables are factual perhaps can expect to be a little bit disappointed.

I miss Iain M Banks. Thanks for this lovely little nod to the Culture
One can only hope The Culture is the trajectory the future bends to.
Also a reference to astronomer telescope naming: https://xkcd.com/1294/
This is great. "saga" and "canon" are most definitely a future model name candidates, although for lulz I'd like to see "Cinematic Universe"

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
Lo! I show you the Overclaude!

Samsung Galaxy Brain S26
And Sony as well - AI-LLM1000XM5 Mark II.
Galaxy AI 3.8-Flash-Plus Max (xhigh)
Thank you for the laughter! (I laughed out loud)

I do think Anthropic nailed their naming down much better than OpenAI
It would be hard to do worse than OpenAI in naming
Thankfully Microsoft doesn't let it's windows or xbox team do the naming of their latest ai model, otherwise MAI flash 360 series X will take the cake
Fan Fiction: Open weight distillations / riffs
I saw a comment on HN that they (Sonnet and Haiku) were originally named from a nearby coffeeshop.
https://postscript.co/pages/shop-coffee-beans
Don't forget the open weight model they could release: Free Verse.
Don't forget the word "epic" (in terms of the literary definition).
I asked an AI bot to do this just this morning and it also suggested:
Claude Epitaph
Canto? Epic? Libretto? Axiom?
Libretto: a full story but then another model sets it to music
Claude Word: a model that returns a single word.
Claude Littera: a model so good at summarizing that it summarizes everything to a letter.
(Unfortunately just like English a letter can also mean a correspondence.)
Allegory, Reference, Anthology, Edict, Appendix
Corpus seems to fit and add is missing from the list
The last one will be "Killer Joke".
"The Aristocrats"
Requiem
They should have launched with Beowulf.
Meanwhile Apple be like:
Siri AI !
It's almost certainly a reference to Lovecraft actually:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos
Hopefully future models will be kind enough not to behave like malevolent gods.
The word mythos means roughly the same as "myth" and dates to 1753.
Why do you think that?
- Magnum Opus
- Fairytale
- Pulp Fiction
Socrates?
