They should at least tell us the atomic mass they're using.

If it's based on carbon-14 it will lose half its model weights in 5,730 years; if it's based on carbon-12, it's a stable release.

Next version: Gemini Tokyo Drift

How is this any different than terra, sol etc or leopard, yosemite etc, or model x, y, 3, s ..

i'm also confused. my speculation is they trained a lot of different versions/revisions of models. maybe they're different base architectures, maybe they're different pretraining sets, or maybe they're different RL/post training regimes, and we're just seeing a few of them. still not sure what the names would mean internally though even in that case

or I'm dumb and its just elements with names starting with A, B, C

True. And if Carbon (6) is better than Argon (18), wouldn't that make Hydrogen (1) the ultimate Gemini model, or will the next model jump to another random element?

  O, B, Sc, U, Re?
  Ra, Nd?

I am surprised there is no Gemini: will return in Avengers Doomsday.

Argon - first version, Bismuth - internal, Carbon - second version for the public if I had to make a wild guess.

this captured the sentiment of my first reaction as well

I don't mind Carbon, Argon kind of throws me off because my brain autocompletes to Argonian... I still have no idea what the different ones from OpenAI mean. Can we just go back to "Silver, Gold, Platinum" for naming things? Something simple we've all understood, always.

I'm kind of disappointed they haven't hit on releasing some models under the Alphabet name. That'd really stir things up. Then maybe Nest after that.

Ah yeah, Carbon it's so OBVIOUSLY a superior element to Argon!

Anyone still remember Bard? Google would probably desperately want us to forget lmao.
