- Google has revealed how it landed on the name Gemini for its AI model.
- It appears astrology played a big part in coming up with the name.
- Inspiration was also taken from the NASA moonshot program called Project Gemini.
Google first mentioned Gemini to the public during I/O 2023, which was later followed up by a launch that December. Since then, the AI model has spread throughout a vast majority of Google’s products. As a core part of Google’s business now, you may be wondering why they chose Gemini as the name. It appears there’s a two-pronged answer to that.
In a blog post, Google revealed how it landed on the name Gemini for its large language model (LLM). The name was apparently half inspired by science and half by astrology.
