Yes, but it would've been nice to call them D1-something, instead of constantly having to switch back and forth between Deepseek R1 (here I mean the 604B model) as distinguished from Deepseek R1 (the reasoning model and it's distillates.)

You can say R1-604b to disambiguate, just like we have llama 3 8b/70b etc.
These models are not of the same nature either. Their training was done in a different way. A uniform naming (even with explicit number of parameters) would still be misleading.
