It would be incredibly helpful to me if AI model names followed cars.

I'm not scratching my head about a "2025 Corolla." Windows 95 and 2000 had this built in, but then they lost it.

I'd prefer it was called Omni 2026.2 instead. It embeds a date and model and would package it as a product for on-premise or local hosting. It'd be easier to sell to the bean counters in the future: "We're running Omni 2026.2, we want to upgrade to Omni 2028."

They used to do that and everyone hated it lol. Hackernews complained endlessly about model names that were just a size and a date.
