Why does Microsoft always create so many ugly, confusing, and ridiculous product names? The worst of them all is ".Net" (which is really confusing).

When OpenAI released their successor to GPT-4, they called it GPT-4o. Their next model after that was called o1.

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).

It’s not just Microsoft. Look at the way top AI companies these days name their foundation models.

*drumroll*

They didn’t even bother to change the name. What the fuck, guys.

Keep in mind, though, there are only two hard problems in software: Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.
