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?
Except google did exactly that with the previous release, where they silently redirect 03-25 requests to 05-06.
Looking at you Anthropic. 4.0 markedly different from 3.7 in my experience.
The model name is completely different? How do you accidentally switch from 3.7 to 4.0?
Sorry, I meant Sonnet 3.7 to Sonnet 4.0.
