FYI for any Googlers - On the "Sorry, Gemini advanced isn't available for you" page, clicking "Learn More" gives you a (presumably internal) SSO sign-on (links to https://support.corp.google.com/googleone?ai_premium )

My God, this page is straight from the 90s! Nostalgic.

I would be willing to pay for an AI that it's not constantly worrying about my safety and ethics, it's very frustrating that even when I ask for tech related topics, Gemini it's holding information on the basis of actions that might cause harm to my devices.

Cloudflare very recently launched new models, including the excellent Openhermes. The context size sucks though.

Default max (sequence) tokens (stream): 512 Default max (sequence) tokens: 256

When I ask ChatGPT4 what the length of its context window is, it tells me (4096 tokens).

When I ask Gemini, it basically tells me "it depends" with a few paragraphs of things I generally don't care about and then suggests I ask for a ballpark estimate (1k - 3k tokens).

I tested it immediately, but it is disappointing. At least here in Switzerland, it is not able to generate images, and a simple "look up this website and summarise the content" does not work either (can't access the website, but its a public website without any crawling limitations). I don't understand why Google is launching a product like this.

Now ...now...Are you implying Google faked all those amazing demos .... :-))

Beware of hallucinations with this kind of question. An LLM doesn't have knowledge about itself unless that was fed into a system prompt by the developers somewhere on the backend, or if it's Internet connected and does a search for itself. While they often do so in terms of e.g. basic stuff like its name and that it's an AI, context windows start veering into advanced details and I would much rather rely on official documentation on the service in this case.

Search for it in the Play Store, first icons are Crypto.com and Gemini: Buy Bitcoin & Crypto options to install

Scroll past the screenshots of those apps

Scroll past the Limitied-time events

Scroll past the You Might Also Like and Similar Apps

OK now we see it, we install, it we launch it and..."Gemini isn't ccurrently available. Try again later."

Bravo Google. Great launch.

It's also pretty well known that censorship may dumb down the LLM even in other fields. With mega prompts to ensure safety it has a lot of stuff to work with that can overwhelm the LLM and simply make it appear "dumber".
