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
- gundmc 2y agoGemini 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.
- coder543 2y ago> 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.
