Mention if a "new model" is a finetune
A user on reddit.com suggests distinguishing between truly new major model releases and finetuned models. They propose reserving the "new model" tag for significant updates, such as a new Qwen model or Deepseek V4 to V4.1, which involve new pretraining or intensive post-training. For finetuned models, they suggest adding "[Finetune]" to the title or using a "new finetune" tag to differentiate them, acknowledging that users might want to discover both types of updates in one place.

A few posts tagged with "new model" present models that are finetunes. My 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.
I reckon one could like to discover both new major releases and interesting finetunes in the same place; what's your opinion? :)
