Thank you for this post: LLM notation and nomenclature drives me mad. I would like to cite this post and I always advise that writers and developers deserve full credit for their ideas, so, is there a better author credit for "Pam" or is the anonymity just a given?

The best I have so far is:

Trott, S. & Pam [username PAM@pdriv]. (2024, December 3). Towards an unambiguous notation for LLMs: Names like “o1-preview” are pretty vague—Can we do better? [Substack newsletter]. The Counterfactual. https://seantrott.substack.com/p/towards-an-unambiguous-notation-for

Cheers,

Leo

It sounds like you want a standardized record of an LLM’s properties, similar to Wikipedia’s “info box”. I think you should start a public database or wiki with a page for each existing LLM and encourage everyone in the community to help keep it updated.
