If you follow AI news you'd know what these are easily, or even just look at the top posts in the last month on HN to see.

Maybe you jest, but I'll bite.
> Tf is sol?
It's a proper noun: the name given to their latest and greatest model. Means "Sun" in Latin. Similar to how Anthropic has been naming its models Fable, Opus, Sonnet etc. Their other models are called Terra (Latin: Earth) and Luna (Latin: Moon) [0].
> Tf is ultra?
The name of the "harness" around the model. It'll use deeper thinking, subagents and all that jazz in response to a prompt. Other options include max, high, medium etc I suppose.
> Tf is codex?
"Coding agent" similar to Claude Code [1], something with a more descriptive name.
> Tf happened to descriptive nomenclature?
Something like GLM-4-32B-0414-128K (not made up [2]) doesn't quite roll off the tongue I suppose.
