OT: I’m not entirely sure why, but "agentic" sets my teeth on edge. I don't mind the concept, but the word itself has that hollow, buzzwordy flavor I associate with overblown LinkedIn jargon, particularly as it is not actually in the dictionary...unlike perfectly serviceable entries such as "versatile", "multifaceted" or "autonomous"

Ok
Am I alone in thinking the word “agentic” is dumb as shit? Most of these things seem to just be a system prompt and a tool that get invoked as part of a pipeline. They’re hardly “agents”. They’re modules.

Beats Gemini 1.5 Pro at all but two of the listed benchmarks. Google DeepMind is starting to get their bearings in the LLM era. These are the minds behind AlphaGo/Zero/Fold. They control their own hardware destiny with TPUs. Bullish.
Regarding TPU’s, sure for the stuff that’s running on the cloud. However their on device TPUs lag behind the competition and Google still seem to struggle to move significant parts of Gemini to run on device as a result. Of course, Gemini is provided as a subscription service as well so perhaps they’re not incentivized to move things locally. I am curious if they’ll introduce something like Apple’s private cloud comp…

Majority of people want better performance, running locally is just a nice to have feature.
They’ll care though when they have to pay for it, or when they’re in an area with poor reception.
