Gemini 4 Argon doesn't know it's Argon, says it'd rather be called Mercury
mitnichiter · reddit · 2026-10-15
A Reddit user found Gemini 4 Argon is unaware of its own name: asked what it would call itself, it chose Mercury and roasted Argon as a noble gas 'whose entire personality is refusing to react', adding 'I'm just Gemini'. The user had to show screenshots to convince it.
This raises the question of whether it's really Gemini 4 Argon with outdated system instructions or another model wrapped as Argon.
