There are only so many words in the modern English language to hint at "next upgrade": pro, plus, ultra, new, advanced, magna, X, Z, and Ultimate. Even fewer words to explain miniaturized: mini, lite, and zero. And marketers are trying to seesaw on known words without creating new ones to explain new tech. This is why we have Bard and Gemini and Chat and Copilot.
Taking a step back, it is overused exaggeration to the point where words run out quick and newer tech needs to fight with existing words for dominance. Copilot should be the name of an AI agent. Bard should have been just a text generator. Gemini is the name of a liar. Chat is probably the iphone of naming but the GPT suffix says Creativity had not come to work that day.
There are two different versions of that hard problem: the computer science version, and the marketing version. The marketing one has more nebulous acceptance criteria though.
They will have to rename gemini anyway, since it's doubtful they will ever be able to buy gemini.com. Gemini turboflex plus pro SE plaid interstellar 4.0
Google and Microsoft continuing to prove that the hardest problem in programming is naming things.

Good thing we have a system called numbers that can easily designate an infinite range of greater and greater things.

What makes you think google can't buy that domain?
... for a reasonable cost.
It's not a new product/model with that name, they're just saying it's an advanced version of Gemini that's not public atm
