So Pro is better than Ultra, but only if the version numbers are higher?

Yes, but you'd have to wait for Gemini Pro Max next year to see the real improvements

Isn't that usually the case with many products? Like the M3 Pro CPU in the new Macs is more powerful than the M1 Max in the old Macs.

The Nano < Pro < Ultra is an in-revision thing. For their LLMs it's a size thing. Then there's newer releases of Nano, Pro, and Ultra. Some Pro might be better than some older Ultra.

A lot of people seem confused about this but it feels so easy to understand that it's confusing to me that anyone could have trouble.

Apple didn't release the M3 Pro a week after the M1 Max

Adam Osborne’s wife was one of my dad’s patients so I’m not unacquainted with the risk of early announcements. But surely they do not prevent comprehension.
