Open models like Kimi, Qwen and DeepSeek get positive sentiment
From 3 comments
Interpreting these metrics is quite interesting. One thing for sure is that while Claude is currently taking the #1 spot in mentions, it carries a lot of negative sentiment due…
jdw64 on HNInteresting to see the positive sentiment around kimi2.6 qwen3.6 and deepseek relative to the negative. I hope the trend of people appreciating open models continue. They aren't…

Mention counts and sentiment don't measure actual model quality, only popularity

gobdovan on HNTerrible metric that tells absolutely nothing about what's state-of-the-art. You might as well call this list the most astroturfed models on HN.

Possible astroturfing or bot sentiment skews the results
From 2 comments
I suspect companies are deploying bots to shift sentiment around their products. I find metrics like this to be largely useless vs. actually just trying stuff out.

Graph sentiment over time from model release dates
From 2 comments
It'd be interesting to also graph this over time to see how sentiment changes from when a model is released to today.
brooksc on HNYes! Going forward I'm definitely doing that, once there is enough data. Might even backfill the data more into the past. I just want to stabilize the methodology before burning…

Questions
Should Claude Opus 4.7 and Claude Opus Latest be merged?
From 1 comment
Surely "Claude Opus 4.7" and "Claude Opus Latest" should be the same, right?
