Google isn't even the worst in my opinion. From the top of my head

Anthropic:

Claude 1 Claude Instant 1 Claude 2 Claude Haiku 3 Claude Sonnet 3 Claude Opus 3 Claude Haiku 3.5 Claude Sonnet 3.5 Claude Sonnet 3.5v2

OpenAI:

GPT-3.5 GPT-4 GPT-4o-2024-08-06 GPT-4o GPT-4o-mini o1 o3-mini o1-mini

Fun times when you try to setup throughput provisioning.

I don't know why you're finding it confusing. There's Duff, Duff Lite and now there's also all-new Duff Dry.
