As the world of AI models continues to evolve, the challenges of versioning and naming these increasingly complex systems have become increasingly apparent. The pace of progress in the field, with rapid advancements and improvements, has made it difficult to maintain a clear and consistent naming scheme.
The example of the long-delayed Duke Nukem Forever game highlights the unpredictable nature of development timelines, and the same can be said for the release of major AI models like Claude 3.5 Opus. The speaker notes that the plan is still to have a Claude 3.5 Opus, but it's unclear whether it will arrive before the highly anticipated GTA 6. The incredible pace of releases in the AI field, with companies like Anthropic constantly pushing the boundaries, makes it challenging to predict when these updates will be available.
The speaker delves into the intricacies of versioning and naming, noting that a year ago, the focus was primarily on pre-training models of different sizes and creating a family of naming schemes. However, as some models take longer to train than others, and as significant improvements are made in pre-training, the existing naming conventions start to break down.
The speaker acknowledges that no company has truly figured out the perfect naming system for AI models, as they often have different trade-offs, capabilities, and characteristics that are not always reflected in the benchmarks. Models can exhibit a range of personality traits, from polite to brusk, reactive to questioning, and warm to cold. Anthropic has even dedicated a team, led by Amanda, to focus on the "Claude character" and these nuanced aspects of the model.
The speaker suggests that the field of AI is in a different paradigm from traditional software development, where versioning and naming are more straightforward. The reality of AI model development often frustrates the attempts to create a clear and consistent naming scheme, as the models themselves can evolve in unpredictable ways.
The user experience of updated models, such as the transition from the June 2024 Sonic 35 to the newer version, also presents challenges. It's important to find a way to clearly differentiate between the previous and current versions, as the distinct improvements can make conversations about the models challenging.
In conclusion, the versioning and naming of AI models is an ongoing challenge that the industry has yet to fully solve. As the field continues to advance, companies like Anthropic will need to find innovative ways to communicate the nuances and capabilities of their models to users in a clear and meaningful way.
I was on OpenAI the whole time now that you mentioned I'm going to check this out
if you intend to code, claude 3.5 sonnet is currently the leading model for that. It's what I'm using for anything coding related.
wait so that's even more helpful for programming than chatgpt 4o? Wow I'm going to have to really try this one
