There’s nothing grammatically offensive about this. It’s like saying, “Cars come in all colors. Mine is red.”

No, I'm complaining that just because GPT-4 is called GPT-4 doesn't mean it's the fourth LLM from OpenAI.

Off the top of my head: GPT-2, Codex, GPT-3 in three different flavors (babbage, curie, davinci), GPT-3.5.

Suggesting that GPT-4 was "fourth" simply isn't credible.

Just the other day they announced a jump from o1 to o3, skipping o2 purely because it's already the name of a major telecommunications brand in Europe. Deriving anything from the names of OpenAI's products doesn't make sense.

While I’m sure it’s unintentional, that amounts to nitpicking. I can easily find three to include and pass over the rest. Face value turns out to be a decent approximation.

There's at least 4 major releases just in GPT4.

GPT4, GPT4T, Gpt4o-Mini, GPT4o,

It’s somehow funny to hear a British company being described as ‘in Europe’, but I suppose you’re technically correct…

Imagine coming up with a naming scheme for the versioning of your product just for it to fail on the second time you want to use it.

It’s more like saying “the Audi Quattro, the company’s fourth car…”

[benatkin]

Because there’s an Audi Tre e Mezzo?

The issue isn't the grammar. It is that there are 5 distinct LLMs from OpenAI that you can use right now as well as 4 others that were deprecated in 2024.
