It's the only comment referencing AGI. Seems wrong to me.

I'm primarily reacting to the other threads, like the one that leaked the system card early. And, perhaps unfairly, Twitter as well.

There are approximately 300 comments on the half dozen or so posts on the front page about Gemini at the moment. 2 threads reference AGI, one of them this one.

I truly do not understand what plan to use so I can use this model for longer than ~2 minutes. Using Anthropic or OpenAI's models are incredibly straightforward -- pay us per month, here's the button you press, great. Where do I go for this for these Google models?

ai studio, you get a bunch of usage free if you want more you buy credits (google one subscriptions also give you some additional usage)

> The Gemini app surpasses 650 million users per month, more than 70% of our Cloud customers use our AI, 13 million developers have built with our generative models, and that is just a snippet of the impact we’re seeing Not to be a negative nelly, but these numbers are definitely inflated due to Google literally pushing their AI into everything they can, much like M$. Can't even search google without getting an AI re…

> Gemini app surpasses 650 million users per month Unless these numbers are just lies, I'm not sure how this is "pushing their AI into everything they can". Especially on iOS where every user is someone who went to App Store and downloaded it. Admittedly on Android, Gemini is preinstalled these days but it's still a choice that users are making to go there rather than being an existing product they happen to user oth…

Yes and no, my power button got remapped to opening Gemini in an update...

I removed that but I can imagine that your average user doesn't.

2D SVG is old news. Next frontier is animated 3D. One shot shows there's still progress to be made: https://aistudio.google.com/apps/drive/1XA4HdqQK5ixqi1jD9uMg...

Did you notice that this embedded a Gemini API connection within the app itself? Or am I not understanding what that is?

Thus far, this is one of the best objective evaluations of real world software engineering...

Idk, Sonnet 4.5 score better than Sonnet 4.0 on that benchmark, but is markedly worse in my usage. The utility of the benchmark is fading as it is gamed.

I think I and many others have found Sonnet 4.5 to generally be better than Sonnet 4 for coding.

I see -- so this is the "paid" AI studio plan?

Does that have any relation to the Gemini plan thing: https://one.google.com/explore-plan/gemini-advanced?utm_sour...

I expect almost no-one to read the Gemini 3 model card. But here is a damning excerpt from the early leaked model card from [0]: > The training dataset also includes: publicly available datasets that are readily downloadable; data obtained by crawlers; licensed data obtained via commercial licensing agreements; user data (i.e., data collected from users of Google products and services to train AI models, along with u…

This seems like a dubious conclusion. I think you missed this part:

It’s not a format, but in my mind it implies designs that are supposed to be functional as opposed to models that are meant for virtual games. It generated a blender script that makes the model.

I would have used OpenSCAD for that purpose.

I started with a lighter weight solution (JSCAD) first and quickly hit the limitations. So I wanted to explore the other side of it - fully complex over the top software (blender).

I guess openscad would be a sweet spot in the middle. Good shout, might experiment.
