Model Naming Rules​

Models are typically named with the following structure:

  • Model Name: Corresponds to the developer or provider, such as GPT*, o1-preview, o1-mini (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Llama* (Meta), etc.
  • Version Number: Larger version numbers indicate significant improvements in capabilities, such as enhanced reasoning abilities. For instance, gpt-4o is more capable than gpt-4-turbo.
  • Sub-Version: Sub-versions exhibit minor performance differences compared to main versions. Naming conventions vary, e.g., gpt-4o, gpt-4. For Gemini, terms like mini, flash denote fewer parameters and lower costs. Context lengths like 32k, 128k, 4096 indicate the maximum token length the model supports.

OpenAI​

  • Use Cases: OpenAI models are widely used in chatbots, content generation, and personal assistants.
  • Recommended Models: o1-preview, o1-mini, gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini.

Anthropic​

  • Use Cases: Claude excels as a programming assistant, leveraging Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to understand codebases and provide solutions. Paired with tools like Cursor for RAG analysis, it can efficiently analyze entire codebases, solve issues, and improve development workflows.
  • Recommended Models: claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620, claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022.

Google​

  • Use Cases: Gemini models offer general-purpose capabilities with competitive pricing. They are ideal for translating web content and processing large PDFs (e.g., research papers, patents).
  • Recommended Models: gemini-1.5-flash-latest, gemini-1.5-flash-002.
