A suggestion for OpenAI to create more meaningful model names:

{Size}-{Quarter/Year}-{Speed/Accuracy}-{Specialty}

Where:

* Size is XS/S/M/L/XL/XXL to indicate overall capability level

* Quarter/Year like Q2-25

* Speed/Accuracy indicated as Fast/Balanced/Precise

* Optional specialty tag like Code/Vision/Science/etc

Example model names:

* L-Q2-25-Fast-Code (Large model from Q2 2025, optimized for speed, specializes in coding)

* M-Q4-24-Balanced (Medium model from Q4 2024, balanced speed/accuracy)

Thank god we don’t usually let engineers name stuff in the west.

While this is entirely logical in theory this is how you get LG style naming like “THE ALL NEW LG-CFT563-X2”

I mean, it makes total sense, it tells you exactly the model, region, series and edition! Right??
