I agree. Announcing a new model without immediate availability or a definite release date seems confusing than just doing it later. When Carbon is made GA, OpenAI or Anthropic might just release their new model, and we'd be like: Carbon what?

Having said that, I don't see people excited about using Argon so far, so that might be why Google is announcing this to hype Gemini up a bit.

Today was their earnings day. They could have been trying to justify their AI Capex. Their earnings were not good otherwise.

Despite that move, the gravitational pull was quite strong on their stock today after the earnings call.
