More importantly, Anthropic has been consistent with their naming convention for years (two, yes, but plural years) now. OpenAI and Google’s habit of changing naming conventions semi-regularly makes their products harder to grok.

Android version names were random desserts for the longest time. People are expecting too much from Google here

They weren't random. They were alphabetical. The first letter of the name always shifted to the next letter in the alphabet.
• Cupcake (Android 1.5)
• Donut (Android 1.6)
• Eclair (Android 2.0–2.1)
• Froyo (Android 2.2)
• Gingerbread (Android 2.3)
• Honeycomb (Android 3.0–3.2)
• Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)
• Jelly Bean (Android 4.1–4.3)
• KitKat (Android 4.4)
• Lollipop (Android 5.0–5.1)
• Marshmallow (Android 6.0)
• Nougat (Android 7.0–7.1)
• Oreo (Android 8.0–8.1)
• Pie (Android 9)
This isn't the same situation. Android versions always had 2 parts: the number and the name. They were always easy to follow.
Using constantly changing names for tiers is a bad idea. Unless the tiers are pre-existing (bronze, silver, gold).
