Google has been leaking the Argon codename in plain sight since late 2025

Reddit user Arteux noticed that Google has been dropping the codename 'Argon' in plain sight since late 2025, presumably teasing a new Gemini-family model. The post links to a detailed breakdown on r/GeminiAI arguing these breadcrumbs are deliberate, in line with Google's usual pre-launch buildup. Worth watching whether Argon becomes the official name of the next model release.
