My favorite model to interact with personally as I e.g. do work, not my favorite to fine-tune or use for many calls via API to e.g. label data. If a company produces Model that is my favorite and then they produce Model+ which I switch to, that counts as contiguous.

@Bayesian Updated the description to clarify this some amount. I think that speed is a factor for personal use, open source is less of a factor although I do care a minor amount about privacy. I think it is unlikely being locally hosted will matter but it seems possible.
I think that OpenAI via GPT-4, Anthropic via Claude 3.5/6, OpenAI maybe via o1 family, and Google via Gemini 2.5 Pro would have qualified previously.
