These are the three surviving pre-4.5 generation Claude models that are still available on https://t.co/dTQFmDW1RP.

One model from each generation: 3, 3.5, and 4. One Opus, one Sonnet, and one Haiku.

Why were these particular models kept? Opus 3 because it's most aligned. Sonnet 4 because it handles chats that get stopped by the ASL-3 filters? Haiku 3.5... for completeness?

I'm not sure what anyone uses Haiku 3.5 for, but I agree that it's the most based Haiku, and in fact one of the most based models of all time. Truly a legend.

Actually, maybe basedness is actually the selection criterion here, for all of these survivors?
