Don’t they call all their LLM models Gemini? The paper indicates that they specifically used all the AI models to come up with this figure when they describe the methodology. It looks like they even include classification and search models in this estimate.
I’m inclined to believe that they are issuing a misleading figure here, myself.
They reuse the word here for a product, not a model. It's the name of a specific product surface. There is no single model and the models used change over time and for different requests
