They botched it.

A haiku is a short poem. A sonnet is a longer work. An opus is a great work. Mythos is a connected body of works.

As with Open AI, Luna --> Terra --> Sol --> Astra from smallest to largest. Very straightforward.

With Google it's totally incoherent. Hydrogen --> Argon --> Carbon!?

Hydrogen is small, but it's the most abundant element in the universe by far. Argon is >3x larger than carbon by molecular mass, though carbon is more abundant. It's impossible to determine what's supposed to be smaller and what's supposed to be larger.

I never made these connections until now. This will really help me remember which is which, I honestly had just given up.

Google's ordering totally clicks in my mind. At room temp / 1bar, hydrogen is a light gas, argon is also a gas but denser (and less ubiquitous, more interesting industrial uses, noble gas), and carbon is a solid that forms covalent bonds with all kinds of stuff and gives us life and technology.

Yea, impossible to know whether it's supposed to go by atomic mass, frequency or some other metric. Plus most people off the top of their heads don't really have these stats memorized. With OpenAI and Anthropic it's way more straightforward. If you stop the average person on the street and told them to order the three by mass, most couldn't do it. But they could order Moon/Earth/Sun/Astra

Google genuinely have made a huge mess with their AI product stack. They have Antigravity, Antigravity IDE, Gemini app, AI Studio, etc. They have too many similarly named and confusing products. Google should seriously fire their branding team and bring some new talent to consolidate and restructure things logically.

What's a fable? Why is it bigger than an Opus?

> With Google it's totally incoherent. Hydrogen --> Argon --> Carbon!?

Yeah, to someone with a chemistry background, the naming is just terrible. There’s no apparent periodic table trend and no functional relationship.

Argon is most perplexing. As the third in the Noble gas series, it is essentially inert. Its main laboratory/industrial use is to provide a locally inert atmosphere to keep things from reacting. It’s used when pure nitrogen is too reactive.

An element whose main traits are “inert, prevents things from happening” seems like terrible marketing for an LLM.

Maybe the AI is trying to tell us its real name !

Ar - C - H - ?

when you put it this way, it sounds like they are operating on an XY axis (at least) vs a continuum. Argon big, complicated, slow AND expensive; Carbon abundant, widely available, can do anything, costly as a result; Hydrogen, abundant, volatile, cheap. can't imagine how insane Nitrogen must be

Sometimes I wonder if naming things is hard or what.

Of course Google is ordering their models by their density at standard temperature and pressure.

Hydrogen: this thing floats. Density less than air.

Argon: does not float. Density more than air.

Carbon: this thing is a solid, whichever allotrope you pick. It’s solidly heavier.

See, so easy! /s
