giffmana Slams Google's Element-Name Tiers for Gemini 4: 'One of the Worst Ideas Ever'
giffmana · x · 2026-11-13
DeepMind-adjacent open source dev giffmana publicly mocks Google's decision to name Gemini 4 size tiers after chemical elements, reacting to the announcement of 'Gemini 4 Hydrogen,' a fast model rolling out across AI Studio, the Gemini API, the Gemini app, Search, and Antigravity. He calls element-based tiers 'one of the worst ideas ever' and suggests simple alphabetical ordering instead — while inadvertently confirming the fast model's imminent all-channel rollout.
