Can we stop using catchy marketing names for things that are *supposed to be* scientific results?

Choosing "llemma" (similar to Meta's "Llama") is just clout seeking.



There's a thing about this in the site guidelines

Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.


It's a derivative of Code Llama, which is a derivative of Llama, so it's a good name.


Yeah, if nothing else, pun names are memorable, which is a good thing


And of course Llama is derived from LLM (Large LAnguage Model)


Science can pick from

* impenetrably long descriptions

* horrifically forced backronyms

* fun names

I know which I prefer.


Catchy marketing names is all you need


You're totally right.

Every time someone wants to communicate something new the person(s) should take a crap and use OCR software to generate glyphs for a new alphabet used solely to communicate the new thing. That's the only way to possibly communicate ideas in a reasonable manner. Using existing things that have some notoriety can only be used to utterly confuse and distract people from new ideas. /s
