"Next generation model"
If it was the next generation, why isn't it a major version change..?
- ryangst_1 3mo agoLLM devs can't do version control
- psychoslave 3mo agoSemantic is passé, word models moved to the next generation.

- cruffle_duffle 3mo agoTo be fair, versioning has always been vibes based.
- appplication 3mo agoHonestly LLMs are the ideal candidate for CalVer. It’s not like there’s any real API so there’s no backwards compatibility to maintain. Even Apple adopted and standardized on it for their latest platform releases.
- andy12_ 3mo agoI think it makes more sense to make it so that major versions are different pretraining runs, and minor versions are simply the same pretraining run that was finetuned to different degrees. But it seems that that isn't cool anymore.
- Kiro 3mo agoLLM versioning is entirely feelings driven. The ideal versioning is probably just names.
- kaizenite 3mo agoBecause if it sucks, they can just default to "It was a minor version change anyways"

- GTP 3mo agoSome assume it was to try to slip under the radar and avoid being limited by the government as they did with Fable.
- therepanic 3mo agoBy all appearances, they did not succeed in doing so.
- HarHarVeryFunny 3mo agoAFAIK there is no difference between "generation" and "version". Version naming/numbering depends on how good it turns out to be, and competition. If the competition releases something then you need to push something out too. Calling it 5.6 creates the least possible expectations, and therefore more potential for positive feedback. The Sol/Terra/Luna naming is interesting. I wonder what Anthropic are considering for their next models? "Terminator", "Armageddon"?
- cyral 3mo agoIf they called it 6.0 and it wasn't AGI, you'd see a lot of complaining here too
- tasuki 3mo agoWhat is AGI? (I know what the shortcut expands to, I'm curious about your definition. Don't the current models fit?)
