The real heated contest here amongst the top AI labs is to see who can come up with the most confusing product names.

  Someone dropped the ball with Phi models. There is clearly an opportunity for XP and Ultimate and X/S editions.

    I really think a "OpenAI Me" is what's needed.

    Personally waiting for the ME model. Should be great at jokes and humor.

  It's nice to see Google finally having competition in a space it used to really dominate (though they definitely still are holding their own with all the Gemini naming). I feel like it takes real effort to have product names be this confusing and capricious

    Gemini naming seems pretty straightforward at this point. 2.0 is the full model, flash is a smaller/faster/cheaper model, and flash thinking is a smaller/faster/cheaper reasoning model with Cost.

      > 2.0 is the full model Not quite. "2.0 Flash" is also called 2.0. The "Pro" models are the full models. But, I love how they have both "gemini-exp-1206" and "gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-01-21". The first one doesn't even say what type of model it is, presumably it should have been "gemini-2.0-pro-exp-1206", but they didn't want to label it that for some reason, and now they're putting a hyphen in the date string where they weren't before. Not to mention they have both "Flash" and "Flash-8B"... which I think will confuse people. IMO, it should be "Flash-${Parameters}B" for both of them if they're going to mention it for one. But, I generally think Google's Gemini naming structure has been pretty decent.

  Surprised Apple hasn't gone with iI Pro Max.
