As if 3 different preview versions of the same model is not confusing enough, the last two dates are 05-06 and 06-05. They could have held off for a day:)


Since those days are ambiguous anyway, they would have had to hold off until the 13th.

In Canada, a third of the dates we see are British, and another third are American, so it’s really confusing. Thankfully y-m-d is now a legal format and seems to be gaining ground.


> they would have had to hold off until the 13th.

06-06 is unambiguously after 05-06 regardless of date format.


The problems is that I mentally just panic and abort without even trying when I see 06-06 and 05-06. The ambiguity just flips my brain off.


> the last two dates are 05-06 and 06-05

they are clearly trolling OpenAI's 4o and o4 models.


Don't repeat the same mistake if you want to troll somebody.

It makes you look even more stupid.


ChatGPT itself suggests better names than that!


Engineers are surprisingly bad at naming things!


I rather like date codes as versions.


But it's not clear how to interpret the date code: 05-06 could be 5th June or 6th May; same sorry for 06-05. Very confusing due to American-style date formatting. Versions number are at least sequential, with a bigger number being a later version.


At what point will they move from Gemini 2.5 pro to Gemini 2.6 pro? I'd guess Gemini 3 will be a larger model.
