    I think the record is quite clear, GDM was never in the race. All of the Gemini models have been considerably behind the capabilities frontier. The only exception was 3.0 which see…

    GDM -- Ok, I'll bite. Why are you including them?

    This is Apache 2.0, which is quite permissive. Just accept the gift. These kind of responses are hilarious. Someone gives something for free (and indeed this is entirely free) and …

    LOL the mogging of GDM is hilarious. I don't know why MSL released this, but it is very nice that they did.

    And this is why GDM has to go. It's crazy that when Google is struggling so badly that efforts like this that have no path to revenue at all were funded. GDM management really thou…

    "Gary Marcus' has a good take " I think that is an oxymoron.

    I don't think that the research is as conclusive as the article makes it out to be ( I know he links ). I would consider this: maybe useful, do it if you find it entertaining.

    A person from Google famously put on her linkedin that her job was to optimize SVG for Gemini 3.0.

    It's great that a novel math proof was created. But this is mostly marketing, pleasing the sneering class/the elites who believe that simply providing value for others (through sal…

    Google Brain invented the transformer. GDM ... not so much.

    This is the correct take. It's an unbelievable failure.

    Big if true. If so they have mogged Google, and GDM in particular very, very badly. Google Deepmind has failed. Flash 3.5 seems capable for a flash model, Antigravity seems like a …

    "I was hopeful that they avoided the well known sultry voice this go around, but alas" Why do you care? You can select other voices. Why do you need to control others? What is at t…

    While this is likely very useful to an enormous number of people, I suspect it will be even more useful for the elderly (if somehow it can be made accessible to them). IIUC the lit…

    The premise is flawed. "The first chart below shows that so far there are no signs of profit margins rising outside the tech sector. This is ultimately what we are waiting for, bec…

    A lot of claims in the article. IDK if the WS-15 failed or is "two decades" behind. I think we just don't know, but we do know that it is that they have achieved the ability to del…

    Huge blow to Google. I doubt that the money had anything to do with it. I also doubt that the state of the technology at OAI vs. Google had much to do with it, Google is behind no …

    The author was so close. "This gives us the first corollary of end-state thinking — cold but honest: every step that sits between intent and implementation will, by default, disapp…

    The LLM+Harness mostly helps with execution. These are new products (generally) and that's a different class of problem. It is possible that since LLM+harness helps with execution …

    There are massive machines filled with reactants under high pressure and cryogenic temperatures. It is amazing that this doesn't happen more often.

    Imagine being Google and paying billions to GDM just to get mogged.

    Comment #48197349

    Oh boy. GDM is making (or has been backed into a corner into making) the bet that high throughput, low latency, low capability models are the path forward. That probably works for …

    I think that your first statement is correct. I do not think that your second was correct.

    I agree with the fact that your company has quota and allocates some to you. Gemini will conduct seconds to minutes of work before requesting aid. And it will commonly fall over. C…
