Are these prominent events? Some of these models are just trained a little longer or cooked with different data?

I think it would be better to list pivotable events, i.e. significant changes in architecture or approach, or a benchmark being surpassed. Otherwise this is just a list of models released by big tech companies irrespective of their importance.

Also I think I would prefer it be renamed from "Artificial Intelligence Timeline" when it's only since 2022 and AI encapsulates a hell of a lot of important work other than LLMs. I've been around long enough to see a few AI bubbles now.

Important events of AI are definitely missing anyway, for example when in 1956 some of the greatest minds in the field of the time set about trying to solve AI [1], only to realise it was far more complex than they imagined. It's only now we even approach addressing some of those original aims, some 70 years later.
