Are you confused by all the model names and terminology running around?  Here is a simple guide to what I call them:

o1 pro — The Boss

4o — Little Boss

o3 mini — The Mini Boss

GPT 4o with scheduled tasks — Boss come back later

o1 — Cheapskates’ boss

Deep Research — My research assistant

GPT-4 — Former Boss

DeepSeek — China Boss

Claude — Claude

Llama 3.3, or whichever — Meta.  I never quite got used to calling Facebook “Meta,” so I call the AI model Meta too.  Hope that’s OK!

Grok 3 — Elon

Gemini 2.0 Flash — China Boss suggests “Laggy Larry,” but I don’t actually call it that.

Perplexity.ai — Google

Got that?  Easy as pie!
