Bindu Reddy relays that Google employees are discussing an internal model called Carbon, which they claim outperforms the unreleased Gemini version ("Argon"). She suggests Google should cancel Argon and ship Carbon instead, joking that by then "Fable 6 and Astra 7" would also arrive. Unconfirmed rumor.
