These names are unbelievably bad. Flash, Flash-Lite? How do these AI companies keep doing this?

Sonnet 3.5 v2

o3-mini-high

Gemini Flash-Lite

It's like a competition to see who can make the goofiest naming conventions.

Regarding model quality, we experiment with Google models constantly at Rev and they are consistently the worst of all the major players. They always benchmark well and consistently fail in real tasks. If this is just a small update to the gemini-exp-1206 model, then I think they will still be in last place.

I'm still waiting for one of them to overflow from version 360 down to One.

Unlike Sony, Google attempts to confuse people for people to use their limited models as they are free to run and most won't pay.

In fairness those still follow a relatively straightforward naming convention.

The only thing that's slightly non-intuitive is how standard/digital determines whether a disc can be used to play a game. But every other aspect of the naming could be understood by a person new to the category.
