I'm so confused by their new naming scheme. What was wrong with number and pro/flash/flash lite.

My best guess is because models are segmenting more into BiS at specific tasks in a way that's orthogonal to small/good/better/best framing. Kind of the same framing as car models, where each one has its own pros and cons vs all other models, instead of being strictly better/worse or just smarter/faster/cheaper.

There's an alternate timeline where this is called Bard Hydrogen.

I've accepted Google is just bad at names.

		I still giggle about the time they just named their product the top four layers of their team's org chart: "Google Play Music All-Access"

seriously... S / M / L why does everything have to be a branding/marketing exercise?

		I wondered the same as a kid about cars, maker - model - variant would just be nice if it was consistent. Anyways when a new model is released they want to have some interest and hopefully some tyre kickers will stick and hoping some social medial coverage

		then they can do XL 2xl 3xl when they want to go further

Really

		It's additionally confusing to me because Hydrogen < Carbon < Argon on the periodic table, but Hydrogen < Argon < Carbon in Google's models.

just learn some chemistry...

maybe you should learn some chemistry. if you know chemistry, the progression of Argon, Carbon, Hydrogen... doesn't make much sense

		But now we can have a Methane agent team with 4 Hydrogen agents directed by one Carbon agent.

		Yes. Its extra confusing knowing the periodic table and atomic weights. At least argon carbon was in alphabetical order or something. But I really think they could have just picked noble gasses if they wanted elements.
