I felt like I had a read on it right away – it's a 6[.0]-series model, and not named after space since it's specialist model, and I assumed it was named after Rosalind Franklin. Looks like the docs back that up, that it's based on Astra, which is not [yet?] at 6.1.

I'm a new Claude user. I get to choose between Fable, Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku. Effort medium, extra, max, high.

Makes sense.

Also why are cards hundreds of pages long? Seems like a broken metaphor.

Honestly the names of most of the frontier models are just getting more and more confusing. Maybe this one gets a pass for being a specialist model for bio. But it's hard to decide which model to use at this point, especially OpenAI.

Probably AI came up with the naming scheme ;-P Maybe they used Gemini for that or copilot.
