If Google keeps naming models after noble gases, Krypton should be next

philnash jokes that if Google continues naming post-Flash/Pro models after noble gases (Helium → Neon → Argon), the next one should be Krypton. In the reply he also riffs on other naming schemes: Luna→Terra→Sol→Astra and Haiku→Sonnet→Opus→Fable. Pure community fun, no official info.
