Summary

  • Adds 31 new timeline events covering key GenAI, LLM, VLM, and robotics milestones from 2020 to 2026
  • All new events use a gold/tan stripe (#c9a96e) to visually distinguish model & technology entries from existing events
  • Events are inserted in correct chronological order within existing year-month groups

Notes

  • Skipped DALL·E 2 (April 2022) and Llama 3 (April 2024) as they already exist in the timeline
  • Timeline now totals 99 events across 51 year-month groups

Test plan

  • Verify the timeline page loads without errors
  • Confirm new events appear in correct chronological order
  • Check gold/tan stripe renders correctly on new events
  • Verify no duplicate entries exist

Add key GenAI, LLM, VLM, and robotics milestones including DALL·E,
CLIP, Anthropic founding, Midjourney, PaLM 2, Llama 2/3.1, DeepSeek,
Grok series, Gemini updates, NVIDIA GR00T, Figure 02, Tesla Optimus,
Sora release, and major funding rounds. All new events use #c9a96e
gold/tan stripe to distinguish model & technology events.

Pull request overview

This pull request adds 31 new timeline events covering significant developments in generative AI, large language models, vision-language models, and robotics from 2020 to 2026. The events are systematically organized in chronological order and use a consistent gold/tan color (#c9a96e) to visually distinguish model and technology milestones from other timeline entries.

Changes:

  • Added 31 new timeline events spanning 2020-2026, including major model releases (DALL·E, CLIP, Llama 2/3.1, Gemini variants, Grok series, DeepSeek-V3), company foundings (Anthropic, xAI, DeepSeek), and robotics developments (Tesla Optimus, Figure 02, NVIDIA GR00T)
  • All new events use the #c9a96e color scheme to differentiate technology/model events from policy, safety, and other event types
  • Events are inserted in correct chronological order within existing year-month groups, maintaining timeline integrity
