There is no Luna 6.1, yet.

Their model release pattern has been a joke. Any firm in their right mind would have released the large+mid+small tier models at the same time. OpenAI though can't seem to pull it off. It's like they either don't have the hardware for it, or they have to wait to collect substantial user data over which to distill the tiers. Either way it's disruptive to user workflows, and not sane to invest in.

This seems like a really trivial thing to get so worked up over. Workflows work fine with a mix of different model versions. (I do it all the time, including open weight models, different reasoning levels, etc. Sounds like you need some evals.

Also, you can just…wait a little longer until all the models for the version number you want are available? You don’t lose anything, so how is not “sane” to do so?

staggering has to be a better use of resources, and I would think most workflows can accommodate using a 6.0 of one model and a 6.1 of a completely different one without balking.

> most workflows can accommodate using a 6.0 of one model

No, they can't, considering Terra never existed for 6.0. It's a mess, and no self-respecting user would care for it.
