Maybe you jest, but I'll bite.

> Tf is sol?

It's a proper noun: the name given to their latest and greatest model. Means "Sun" in Latin. Similar to how Anthropic has been naming its models Fable, Opus, Sonnet etc. Their other models are called Terra (Latin: Earth) and Luna (Latin: Moon) [0].

> Tf is ultra?

The name of the "harness" around the model. It'll use deeper thinking, subagents and all that jazz in response to a prompt. Other options include max, high, medium etc I suppose.

> Tf is codex?

"Coding agent" similar to Claude Code [1], something with a more descriptive name.

> Tf happened to descriptive nomenclature?

Something like GLM-4-32B-0414-128K (not made up [2]) doesn't quite roll off the tongue I suppose.

Of course I understand all this, but why the cuteness? Why not just say "<whatever the hell sol is supposed to imply> 2 agent?

Surely it would sell better though if they could communicate what they're selling?

Does this really need branding at all? Surely claude should sell itself if it can work as an agent. And if it is a specific model, what tasks is it trained to do? can we see the fucking training to make this money worth it? Or am I just another sucker buying nikes?

All of this hand waving makes me nauseated. People should buy value, not vibes.

It's a post on twitter, not a press release.

		Branding is far more subsistent and meaningful than either lol. They just want to paint themselves as gods. But they are producing software, not magical beings, and we should see them as salesmen, not gods. Not to mention they'd probably sell more software if people could understand their product lineup
