Gemini CLI works. It's not the favorite, but it's definitely "working."

It's constantly overloaded and shits the bed. Gemini is so awful, it feels like a GPT-3.5 era model that fails to make basic tool calls.

Maybe I'm on a different plan or something.

Or happen avoid all the downtime.

Claude has one 9 of uptime, downtime for me multiple times per week. [1] When it works, it's great. It just doesn't work that often recently.

I 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.

I mean... I don't really expect anything since Gemma 4 was released recently

When was that? When phones used wires?

In the US, wired phones were often leased from the phone company! If you shop for vintage phones from the 1960s, they will often have a decal to that effect. Examples: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/71gAAeSw1URp8QPF/s-l1600.webp https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/tPAAAeSw~RxqBiLR/s-l1600.webp I think this started to change only in the 1980s and 1990s, thanks to cheaper electronics imported from overseas?

It was because of anti-monopoly legislation, https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/09/att-breakup-spin... ; i.e. breaking up 'Ma Bell' into the baby bells, and the current oligopoly we have instead in the modern day. An older picture showing how they were broken up and then re-merged: https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurelings/comments/r24ed0/diagram... or https://legalclarity.org/what-happened-to-the-baby-bells-aft...

ML + AGI = GMAIL

Don't give them the idea, before too long they'll retire the email part so you could use it to train agents and use AI in your workflows by leveraging Artificial Google Intelligence (AGI)

The reason they named it as AntiGravIty was based on this. The cli command to launch it is agi

can't wait to hear all about the new Agentic workflows you can build with AI and build with agentic agent swarms and build more workflows to do more with Enterprise AI with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and elevate efficiency with the power of AI and unlock value with AI agents. also can't wait to hear more about AI integrations across Google AI Workspace, like AI Gmail or AI docs (powered by Gemini Enterprise AI)…

Cognitive surrender, wash over my person!

Well in that case, I predict you are going to be in luck!

Winning the AI race means obsoleting their current profitable business. They might win but at what cost?

I actually love this. They think they'll be able to control this tech and be lords over everyone. In the meantime everyone is replacing them with homegrown solutions.

It's not at all how things are going / went.

Two years ago everybody was explaining that Google was done, that because of AI search was dead and that they were the IBM or the 2020s for they were absolutely nowhere went it came to AI.

Now we're at a point where a little flash model from Google is SOTA on half of the benchmarks:

So the tune changed: Google is now dead not because they'd be nowhere in AI but because they're too good (?) at AI?

So basically: whatever happens, this time for Google it's over right?

(not too clear why it's a 122 Kb .gif file as if the 90s called over dial-up modems while when the same in .webp would be less than half the size but I digress)
