Their inability to name things sensibly has been called out for years and it doesn't look like they care?

I'm not sure what the deal is, it has to be a marketing hinderance as every major tech company is trying to claw their way up the AI service mountain. Seems like the first step would be cogent naming.

It would have been better as Gemini Lite, Gemini, Gemini Pro, and then v1, v1.5 for model bumps.

Ultra vs pro vs nano with Ultra unlocked by buying Gemini Advanced is confusing.

I'm also not sure why they make base Gemini available after you have Advanced, because presumably there's no reason to use a worse model.
