Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Google's Bard, Sarvam models
Concerns raised: Missing coverage of earlier foundational models (word2vec, NMT, seq2seq, attention, self-attention), Descriptions lack substantive details beyond 'new model by X', Models derail and ignore instructions over multiple turns, requiring iteration
Feature requests: Add annotations for capability changes (reasoning, structured output) alongside release dates, Include more Sarvam models, especially recently announced ones, Clicking on model names should open to that model's home page, Expand timeline to include earlier foundational ML work
