When Google released the next version of Gemini 1.5 Pro, they called it Gemini 1.5 Pro-002 (I wish I was joking, but I’m not).
They didn’t even bother to change the name. What the fuck, guys.
When OpenAI released their successor to GPT-4, they called it GPT-4o. Their next model after that was called o1.
