What's wrong with the Google names?

It seems pretty clear, they started with Bert, to borrow from AllenAIs Elmo, then Big Bird, and made some friends with Palms along the way. So of course Bard would make sense and is a natural next name.

Then it gets even simpler really, by switching Bard to Gemini it really streamlined the naming. Gemini nano < Gemini Pro 1.0 == Gemini Advanced Then after that Gemini 1.5 Pro, but that's still worse than Gemini Ultra 1.0 which is still better than Advanced. They have made it a bit easier now though with Gemma, which is worse than all of them, but still a little bigger than what you want to run on a phone, which is a great reason to introduce Germa X. I'm mostly excited for Germa X2 version deXbox though. That's when we finally get a decent model for desktop boxes.
