The improvement over ChatGPT are counted in (very) few percents. Does it mean they have entered a diminishing returns phase or is it that each percent is much harder to get compared to the previous ones ?

Probably just reflects that they are playing catch-up with OpenAI, and it would not look good if they announced their latest, greatest (to be available soon) was worse that what OpenAI have been shipping for a while, so I assume that being able to claim superiority (by even the smallest amount) over GPT-4 was the gating factor for the this announcement.

I doubt LLMs are close to plateauing in terms of performance unless there's already an awful lot more to GPT-4's training than is understood. It seems like even simple stuff like planning ahead (e.g. to fix "hallucinations", aka bullshitting) is still to come.

This demo is nuts: https://youtu.be/UIZAiXYceBI?si=8ELqSinKHdlGlNpX

It’s technically very impressive but the question is how many people will use the model in this way? Does Gemini support video streaming?

In 5 years having a much more advanced version of this on a Google Glass like device would be amazing.

Real time instructions for any task, learn piano, live cooking instructions, fix your plumbing etc.

To me it doesn't look impressive at all.

In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvGmVmHv69s, Google talked about solving a competitive programming problem using dynamic programming.

But DP is considered only an intermediate level technique in National Olympiad in Informatics/USACO level competitions, which are targeted at secondary school students.

For more advanced contests the tough questions usually require techniques that are much more advanced than DP. Indeed, if you use DP for harder questions you will typically get TLE or out of memory.

Google stock is flat ( https://i.imgur.com/TpFZpf7.png ) = the market is not impressed.

They can keep releasing these cool tech demos as much as they like. They clearly don't have the confidence to put it into consumers hands.

I once met a Google PM whose job was to manage “Easter eggs” in the Google home assistant. I wonder how many engineers effectively “hard coded” features into this demo. (“What the quack” seems like one)

This is very cool and I am excited to try it out! But, according to the metrics, it barely edges out GPT-4 -- this mostly makes me _more_ impressed with GPT-4 which: - came out 9 months ago AND - had no direct competition to beat (you know Google wasn't going to release Gemini until it beat GPT-4) Looking forward to trying this out and then seeing OpenAI's answer

OpenAI had an almost five-year head-start with relevant data acquisition and sorting, which is the most important part of these models.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

To quote Gemini, what the quack! Even with the understanding that these are handpicked interactions that are likely to be among the system's best responses, that is an extremely impressive level of understanding and reasoning.

Does it really need to have affectations like "What the quack!"? These affectations are lab grown and not cute.

I liked them
