There was actually a series of language models named after Sesame Street characters back in 2018-2020, starting with ELMo, then BERT, ERNIE (a different model from 2019), Big Bird, ... There are likely some more that I missed.

ELMo: https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.05365 BERT: https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.04805 ERNIE: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09223v1 Big Bird: https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.14062
