It makes sense. And Google is its own way to name all AI products “Gemini”.
- yreg 6mo agoWhich is unusually simple. I would expect Google to use 10 more marketing names simultaneously without any logic to the product lines.
- chatmasta 6mo agoThey’ve improved it since the initial launch when the service, model names and plan names all sounded similar and contradictory.
- jayknight 6mo agoNext year they will introduce "hAIngouts" as an AI chat bot.
- layer8 6mo agoOuch. Maybe "Google wAIve" for collaborative chats.
- ayewo 6mo ago> Which is unusually simple. I would expect Google to use 10 more marketing names simultaneously without any logic to the product lines. I think they were lucky this time that they landed a good name after only a few iterations that has since stuck. Anyone remember Google Bard or LaMDA?
- spencerflem 6mo agoI still like the name Bard
- chirau 6mo agoThe r/Bard subreddit is still quite active for some reason. Reminds me of Google Glass.
- owlninja 6mo agoDidn't it start as Bard?
- surajrmal 6mo agoWell it depends on what you're talking about. The model names were originally called lambda, followed by palm and then finally gemini. The chatbot product was internally known as meena, launched as Bard, and then transitioned to Gemini once the Gemini model came out.
- nurettin 6mo agothere is vertex ai, notebooklm, antigravity, nano banana, veo, lyria, the open models are gemma and gato
- idontwantthis 6mo agoBut they put Gemini in google docs, they didn’t rename Docs to Gemini like Microsoft did.
- gedy 6mo agoI think they'll more likely launch competing AI projects like 'Aquarius' and 'Doh' or something
- Twirrim 6mo agoAnd IBM has "Watson"
- lschueller 6mo agoSAP sales reps used HANA for "cloud" in the beginning... Which was bs back then and is today. But while everybody wanted to be in the cloud, SAP sales was scared to not be with the cool kids, when they do not somehow add to the cloud talk
- tylerchilds 6mo agoAnd Silly has Silly!
- conductr 6mo agoProbably will use other astrology terms. Like the way android is named for desserts.
- throwaway173738 6mo agoGoogle Scorpio will be their best model yet, except sometimes it will say things that cut you to the core.
- hanspeter 6mo agoIt most certainly isn't astrology that was on Google's mind when they decided for Gemini.
- conductr 6mo agoMade me curious enough to look it up... https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/google-gemini-ai-name-meaning/ https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/google-gemini...
- croes 6mo agoIt doesn’t make sense. Google has a least its own LLMs, MS just uses others. So Copilot could be OpenAI or Anthropic. At work we have licenses for Copilot and Copilot but not Copilot and everyone gets Copilot but only some get Copilot.
