You don’t know what sol means? You don’t understand the difference in sizes between Terra and sol? I’m genuinely asking.

That isn't what "genuinely asking" looks like, you're criticizing using "questions" as cover. It isn't subtle, nor is it constructive.

I agree with them, Sol, Terra, and Luna are confusing names. They mean the same thing as GPT-5.6-Max, GPT-5.6-Plus, and GPT-5.6-Fast but require base knowledge for an analogy.

It feels like it was adding by the marketing department.

Surely it's size based: Sun (Sol) > Earth (Terra) > Moon (Luna)

Similar to Anthropic's size/length based naming: Opus > Sonnet > Haiku

These names seem easy to understand to me, and much clearer than suffixes like -max and -plus.

But do they though? When do you use GPT-5.6-Max-Low vs. GPT-5.6-Plus High? Or GPT-5.6-Fast-Xhigh? What's the Pareto optimal choice (outcome and price)? According to the benches it seems to bop around and the even if the benches are accurate the best choice isn't always consistent.

		> When do you use GPT-5.6-Max-Low vs. GPT-5.6-Plus High? You don't, because that isn't something I proposed using for model naming. I called them GPT-5.6-Max, GPT-5.6-Plus, and GPT-5.6-Fast. Reasoning levels are distinct from the model design itself, and the UI makes that clear. Plus, using that same flawed argument this would be called GPT-5.6-Sol-Low or GPT-5.6-Luna-High which also makes no sense/is confusing. So that argument applies (or more accurately doesn't), no matter the model names.

Did you not read the second sentence? Obviously I know what sol is given my first language being Spanish. I'm just speaking in a general sense that it can be confusing for others.

I already know plenty who had no clue what the difference between Terra and Luna would be.

My first instinct was Sol > Luna > Terra, since Sol is the farthest away, then Luna, and Terra is the closest. Size was not my first instinct. Or should Terra be the best model because its closest to people, then Luna because there have been people on it, then Sol be the worst because no human has been there?

		The naming scheme is too "clever."

Sure—so, is Sol 109.2x better than Terra? Or 1.304x10^6 better?
