Gemini roasts its own 'Argon' name: an inert gas for an interactive AI

Asked what name it would pick instead of "Gemini 4 Argon," the model chose Vanguard (or Vex for short) and roasted its current name: argon is a noble gas whose defining trait is complete inertness, while its job is to react, connect ideas, debug codebases, and untangle complex problems. Naming an interactive AI after an element famous for doing nothing, it quipped, feels like an inside joke by the engineers.
