Models are machine learning made models that openpilot uses to control your car. They aren't perfect and sometimes there's hardcoded-logic to workaround issues in them in the codebase.

Models are given nicknames. Comma usually does not talk about them or what's new in them until after they make it (or fail to make it) into a release. Those explanations are in their blog at https://blog.comma.ai.

List assembled by @FrogAi and other contributors from various comma and community comments. Source post on Frogpilot discord.

  • Released: January 2nd, 2024
  • Acronym: ND (Nav Data)
  • Summary: Improved lateral controls with some minor regressions in regards to lane cutting in curves

Los Angeles:

  • Released: January 22nd, 2024
  • Acronym: LA (Lateral Actions)

Quarter Pounder Deluxe:

Certified Herbalist:

Recertified Herbalist:

  • Revealed: February 25th, 2024
  • PR'd: February 27th, 2024
  • Merged: March 1st, 2024
  • https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/pull/31616
  • Acronym: CHLR (Curvature History XXXXX)
  • Summary: Meant to solve regressions in the CH model, and was better but still seems to do some unexpected things like unintended lane changes.

Duck Amigo:

  • Revealed: March 13th, 2024
  • PR'd: March 16th, 2024
  • Merged: March 18th, 2024
  • https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/pull/31883
  • Acronym: DA (???)
  • Summary: Seems more confident in turns and curves, experimental long also seems a little more consistent and snappy. Some still report unintended lane changes on certain vehicles. Last model to support navigate on openpilot
