I think a new default free model for AI Mode being so close to the frontier will be a massive jump in perceived AI intelligence by the general public.

The naming of these Gemini 4 models is ridiculous.

In order of sophistication and cost, the models are Hydrogen -> Argon -> Carbon.

What kind of ordering is that?!?

With the introduction of Hydrogen, it's no longer ordered alphabetically. That would be Argon → Carbon → Hydrogen.

And it never was ordered by atomic mass, which is arguably the best ordering if you're going to name your model classes after chemical elements. That would be Hydrogen → Carbon → Argon.

It's also not ordered by prevalence in the universe. That ordering would also be Hydrogen → Carbon → Argon.

It's not ordered by electronegativity, boiling point, melting point, or any other remotely defensible chemical property I can think of.

It's not even ordered by letter count, Scrabble score, or NFPA 704 Flammability Rating, all of which would be Argon → Carbon → Hydrogen.

I know some people are still a bit confused by astra, sol, terra, and luna, but at least you can explain the reasoning and it makes sense. Google's new naming scheme is just pure luna...cy.

The era of "ai le bad" jokes might just be over

Billions of people will now be exposed to a model that crushes sonnet 5.5 on benchmarks (in google ai search suggestions).

I kinda miss dumb ai in a way actually, was a certain charm to it
