Why is everything named Gemini these days?
- adocomplete 11mo agoyeah seems like an odd choice for a new project.
- mpalmer 11mo agoThe project is six years old
- adocomplete 11mo agoI stand corrected.
- jasonjmcghee 11mo agoThis long predates Google LLMs
- mock-possum 11mo agoYeah it seems like everybody and their brother is naming things Gemini, is there a dual meaning I’m not aware of?
- incognito124 11mo agoNice pair of Gemini puns
- arnaudsm 11mo agoThe Gemini protocol started in 2019, before Google's Gemini in 2023. It's proably a popular word for tech workers fans of the american space race.
- exasperaited 11mo agoOr for people who want to evoke notions of duality/parallels/twinship.
- didi_bear 11mo agoBecause Copilot was already taken
- throitallaway 11mo agoGoogle renamed Bard to Gemini last year. Side note: Google's "Gemini" product name is way overloaded. They have like 6 different things that you can buy/use that are named that.
- SoftTalker 11mo agoSounds like IBM’s “Watson”
- chankstein38 11mo agoRight? I clicked in here thinking it meant Google's Gemini but of course not just another uncreative name that clutters search results. (I'm not sure if Google's Gemini or Project Gemini is the uncreative clutter, but either way.)
