OpenAI repeatedly keeps hurting user workflows by altering the model generations family for each new version in unpredictable ways. As such, it is not a sane ecosystem to develop in.

2019: We have no idea if computers will ever able to talk like a human in natural language. 2026: We have multiple magical know-everything oracles that can speak any language better than most humans and produce pages of output for fractions of a cent, but the model names are a bit confusing so let's just not bother.

I said neither of these two statements or claims. The fact is that OpenAI's model family and release is not standardized. This means that if I have applications that are using the high, mid, and low tier models, e.g. at v5.6, it's not straightforward for me to update to a new version, e.g. v6 or v6.1 of these models because there isn't immediately a 1:1 mapping at the time of release of the version. Competitors to OpenAI don't have this problem, so I will bother with them.

What is your implication here, in the case of 6.1 Terra?

The implication is that 6.1 Terra should've been released together with 6.1 Sol and Luna on the same day, and that these tiers should stick across versions.
