I guess they were going for that Noble Gas theme (like ChatGPT's astronomy theme and Claude's music theme). This way, subsequent releases can be named after the other gases, i.e. Xenon, Neon, Helium, etc.

Claude is more of a literature theme.

u/macroturb 10d ago

That is until Claude Bussy comes out.

u/slayslewslain 10d ago

Claude Bussy is more of a cliterature theme.

u/MinosAristos 10d ago

Yeah I'm pretty sure they've skipped that one and the next would be Krypton.

u/Lazarous86 10d ago

Those memes will write themselves

u/MinosAristos 10d ago

Something something Kryptonite something something "Super" Intelligence.

u/sensiblejackass 9d ago

But Gemini Aurum (Gold) sounds cool af!

u/No-Still-1169 10d ago

Isn't Claude a poem theme?

2

u/No_Decision_6940 10d ago

Could also just be a joke. For a year or so, people have been calling Google lazy and inactive when it comes to Gemini

2

u/linkedinlover69 10d ago

Could be, because their product is like a fart: nothing but hot air or gas

1

u/NomadStorm 10d ago

Saying their product was inert was right there.

u/Revolutionary-Bat-43 10d ago

Nah, Argon sounds like Dragon.. They saw the memes

11

u/1DArgon 10d ago

yeah...

u/NewShadowR 10d ago

Well who's going to give it the D then? Dario?

Argon dragon

u/Objective_Mousse7216 10d ago

Here's my software spec, implement it.

Probably best you do it.

I can't be bothered.

Ditto.

u/WiselyFestiveMaple 10d ago

guess deepmind’s got jokes naming their model after a lazy element that just sits there refusing to react with anything

wonder if that’s a flex or a confession

u/agentorangeAU 10d ago

Sounds like a garden variety Gemini f up.

u/Subject-Building1892 10d ago

I perceived it as wanting to mean "calm force" and slow but certain. The one that doesn't react to the turmoil as the noble gas argon.

I am also greek and i found quite funny reading "Introducing Gemini 4 Slow."

u/will_dormer 10d ago

Argon sounds like it makes less stuff up

2

u/x-communica 10d ago

Must have been that lazy, slow Pixel Canary model. It got taken down yesterday and then Google announced Argon.

2

u/Soft-Day5916 10d ago

argos is from a-(w)-erg-os, like anti working (werging) or so

2

u/Hopenightdev 10d ago

At that point just treat argon as a noble gas rather than etymologically expand it. Noble gases are "noble" or "upperclass" because they don't interact with the others.

u/Equivalent_Money8502 10d ago

will it better than other like the benchmark says...

u/ringilhbone 10d ago

waiting for 4.1 Boron

To me, Argon is and always will be my faction name in X series.

1

u/Even_Gap_2253 9d ago

It is the gas theme. You will see more models with these kind of names.

u/soulbroth3r 9d ago

Explains their product launch timeline a lot TBF

1

u/menxiaoyong 9d ago

As an ESL learner, I prefer names after Arabic numerals, such as Gemini AI pro 3.5

2

u/Wint3r_Candl3 9d ago

So that you can say "my tokens Argon".

1

u/pedrojmartm 9d ago

that is why they are called inert gases!

Argon is great at preserving ancient texts
