What's Carbon then? I haven't been paying much attention to Google but their naming has been confusing me.
replyLuna/Terra/Sol/Astra was a bit pretentious but at least the sizing makes sense. (I imagined the meeting... "Ok guys, we're getting mogged on naming... what's more epic than a Myth?" -"The SUN!")
Anthropic makes sense with the literary "scale" naming, mostly.
Is a Carbon bigger than an Argon though? Maybe it has to do with the atomic number?
Carbon is the next iteration (via RL training) of the Argon sized model.
replyA B (not released) C
replyCarbon is to Argon as Mythos is to Fable.
replyCarbon is to Aragon what Fable is to Mythos.
replyI thought carbon was smarter?
replyYes, Carbon and Mythos are the secret super-smart models you can't use without an invitation and a million dollars.
replyArgon is not same tier as Astra and Fable. the upcoming, similarly unavailable Carbon maybe is.
replyThis would be by (suspected) parameter size, not benchmarked ability.
replyIt's possible Argon/Carbon are pro sized, but given the internal rumblings and that it is based on a fresh pretrain, it makes most sense for it to be a "big" model.
Google did at one point have an "Ultra" sized model, but nothing more came of it after 1.5 Ultra.
Argon is totally in those tiers in my experience. And you actually get to use it for a few days before you run out of tokens...
