Big companies can be slow to pivot, and Google has been famously bad at getting people aligned and driving in one direction. But, once they do get moving in the right direction the can achieve things that smaller companies can't. Google has an insane amount of talent in this space, and seems to be getting the right results from that now. Remains to be seen how well they will be able to productize and market, but hard…

>> hard to deny that their LLM models aren't really, really good though.

The context window of Gemini 1.5 pro is incredibly large and it retains the memory of things in the middle of the window well. It is quite a game changer for RAG applications.

OT: I’m not entirely sure why, but "agentic" sets my teeth on edge. I don't mind the concept, but the word itself has that hollow, buzzwordy flavor I associate with overblown LinkedIn jargon, particularly as it is not actually in the dictionary...unlike perfectly serviceable entries such as "versatile", "multifaceted" or "autonomous"

Huh, all three words you mentioned as replacement are equally buzzwordy and I see them a lot in CVs while screen candidates for job interview.

Any word on price? I can't find it at https://ai.google.dev/pricing

£18/month https://gemini.google/advanced/?Btc=web&Atc=owned&ztc=gemini... then sign in with Google account and you'll see it

Oh but I only care about api pricing

At least all three of them are actually in the dictionary

Considering so many of us would like more vRAM than NVIDIA is giving us for home compute, is there any future where these Trillium TPUs become commodity hardware?

So many of us are probably in thousands they need to be 3 order magnitude higher before Google can even think of it.

I've been using Gemini Flash for free through the API using Cline for VS Code. I switch between Claude and Gemini Flash, using Claude for more complicated tasks. Hope that the 2.0 model comes closer to Claude for coding.
