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.

Interesting, I just learned about matharena.ai. Google cherry-picks one result where they're the best here, but in the overall results, it's still O3 and o4-mini-high who are in the lead.

Why not call it Gemini 2.6?

because the plethora of models and versions is getting ridiculous, and for anyone who's not following LLM news daily, you have no clue what to use. There was never a "Google Search 2.6.4 04-13". You just went to google.com and searched.

I feel like instead of constantly releasing these preview versions with different dates attached they should just add a patch version and bump that.

They can't because if someone has built something around that version they don't want to replace that model with a new model that could provide different results.

In what way are dates better than integers at preventing that kind of mistake?
