Or, you know, just Gemini 2.6 Flash. I don't recall the 2.5 version having a date associated with it when it came out, though maybe they are using dates now. In marketing, at least, it's always known as Gemini 2.5 Flash/Pro.

It had a date, but I also agree this is extremely confusing. Even semver 2.5.1 would be clearer IMO.

It always had dates... They release multiple versions and update regularly. Not sure if this is the first 2.5 Flash update, but pretty sure Pro had a few updates as well...

This is also the case with OpenAI and their models. Pretty standard I guess.

They don't change the versioning, because I guess they don't consider it to be "a new model trained from scratch".
