#42I wonder what's in store for the local Gemma models, as well as Flutter. I've been making fully local apps that either download Gemma 4 2B or use the built-in AICore in Android and Apple's Foundation Models. Local models are getting really good these days including web search and tool calling such that for many use cases I don't even need cloud models.

#45Kinda annoying how Google always releases new products "in a safe and secure way" to a handful of "trusted testers". They already fumbled their image generation launch with Imagen a couple years ago while DALL-E rolled out in the ChatGPT app, and likewise with video generation. Took a while to regain the mindshare with nano banana. With the new Spark and stuff locked behind "trusted testers", I'm worried that again they will get overtaken by competitors while waiting in the name of "safety".

#46Why would I want to vibe code a "fully functional operating system"?
It's an example of AI coding agents successfully completing complex coding tasks.

#47Interesting that the 3.5 Flash launches before 3.5 Pro. Historically it's been the reverse for Gemini since Flash is distilled from Pro? Are they just training it a bit longer until it tops benchmarks?
3.5 flash is presumably cheaper to run than pro too... Perhaps the company is compute constrained like everyone else is?
Just a little bit, $9 vs $12 (3.1 Pro, the current PRO).

#48You can tell the labs are scrambling with this agentic nonsense. Nobody really knows what to do with it.
All 3 major labs streamlined their desktop apps and plans to be the exact same. And we are still doing email drafts as "consumer use cases".
As I'm typing this they are talking about reimagining the search box. They turned it into a chat window.
Truly the pinnacle of innovation.

Tinkering and experimentation.
Could be a good use for older hardware. Why not.

I found that ublock origin was blocking it. I disabled ublock origin and the button works.
