#2Is there a paper or other blog post that goes along with this to explain the Lamda architecture? Otherwise this is mostly marketing fluff.

It may just be mimetic. But it feels like a Language Model with a nuance for human emotion ;)

Googler, opinions are my own. (I don't work on this thing)
This is the next steps of meena: https://ai.googleblog.com/2020/01/towards-conversational-age...
This is a real thing, but it just hasn't been opened outside of Google yet.

#5My initial impression from the Google I/O presentation was that this was a precursor to a GPT-3 API competitor product to OpenAI (it certainly has the same generative quirks as GPT-3!), however this PR implies it's just for conversation and may not be released for public use.

#6I couldn't find a paper for this one. Can anyone else?
Dialogue really is a massive missing piece in NLP (and machine interaction in general). Without dialogue, we're giving algorithms much harder tasks than we give people. A person can always ask clarifying questions before answering. (Dialogue is of course much harder for other reasons)
So it'd be really nice to read about their self-described "breakthrough" in more concrete terms than a press release that reads more like an advertisement than anything else.

#7How long until this is integrated product side? It seems like they bring up these really cool demos that seem like the Star Trek computer every couple years, but Assistant can't do a whole lot more than Siri or Alexa still.

Yeah, I was expecting to be able to maybe play with it or at least see some real details. Not much here at the moment.
