  "transcript": "A few posts tagged with \"new model\" present models that are finetunes.\nMy opinion : I'd rather have the \"new model\" tag reserved for new \"major\" releases, like a new Qwen model, Deepseek V4 -> Deepseek V4.1, etc., that involved a new pretrain or *intensive* post-training (in opposition to a small finetune). Otherwise, maybe prepend \"[Finetune]\" to the title to indicate that the new model is \"less of a big news\", a use a \"new finetune\" tag, to differentiate between the two kinds of new models.\n\nI reckon one could like to discover both new major releases and interesting finetunes in the same place; what's *your* opinion? :)\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[78 upvotes] We should have new flair \"finetune\"\n\n[31 upvotes] Agreed\n\n[17 upvotes] I like the idea of a \\[Finetune\\] prefix more than creating a completely separate category. Some finetunes are genuinely significant, but it’s still useful to immediately know whether a model involved new pretraining or is based on an existing checkpoint. Requiring the base model in the title would help too, e.g. \\[Finetune\\] ModelName — Qwen3-32B.",
