I can only access https://makersuite.google.com/ when using a VPN to the US. Also, it spams popups that get blocked by Firefox. Some basic prompts, which are answered correctly most of the time by ChatGPT4: There are 31 books in my house. I read 2 books over the weekend. How many books are still in my house? > 29 books Julia has three brothers, each of them has two sisters. How many sisters does Julia have? > Three I…

Why would you expect an LLM to answer thoe questions correctly?

why on earth did they design the Node.js and Web APIs to be slightly different and incompatible? (edit: this might just be a bug/oversight on the landing page?) Node.js: const model = genAI.getGenerativeModel({ model: "gemini-pro-vision"}); const result = model.generateContent({ contents: [{parts: [ {text: "What’s in this photo?"}, {inlineData: {data: imgBase64, mimeType: 'image/png'}} ] }] }) Web: const model = genA…

What do you mean? They look exactly the same to me.

Free quota looks reasonable with 60 queries per minute. On the other hand data from free quota requests will be used to improve the product. https://ai.google.dev/pricing

This must be a significant investment to pick up the hype; 1 qps cannot be sustainable with a free pricing tier unless their resource efficiency is 10x better than competitors.

Cross posting some links from another post that HNers found helpful - https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai (marketing page) - https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs (docs entry point) - https://console.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai (cloud console) - https://console.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/model-garden (all the models) - https://console.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative (studio / playground) VertexAI is the umbrell…

Just link your other comment rather than repaste. One reason is it makes merging related threads harder. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

It is not a direct copy and paste, the other words around it are contextualized to the posts, which I do not expect to be merged, as they are different stories (language model vs image model). Having to make fewer click is also typically appreciated

I know it's just an anecdote, but my biggest problem with Google's Bard/Gemini is that the moment I tried to ask a question about something - I started getting ads all over the internet and social media related to that. Doing this with ChatGPT 4.0 for months and months did not cause this type of behavior.

Does that happen even with Bard Activity turned off? It's kind of silly of Google because the types of queries I would send to Bard are the type that I wouldn't care to see as adverts anyway!

I used this just-released API (of Gemini Pro) with multimodal input to test some of the things from the infamous Gemini Demo. You can see here [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__nL7Vc0OCg ] my GPT-4 recreation of that ad which went viral.

Gemini Pro is... not great. In one test, I asked what gesture I was making (while showing a thumbs up) -- it said thumbs down and "The image is a commentary on the changing nature of truth".

I just just made a heads-to-heads comparison -- you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RrkRA7wuoE

I like that they have a "blog post creator"[1] in their examples. There's no hope for the future of the web when the self-proclaimed stewards of its quality encourage AI spam. [1] https://makersuite.google.com/app/prompts/blog-post-creator

There are legitimate use cases, like "create a press release with these facts".

Since the Maker Suite doesn't have the same prompting as something like Bard or ChatGPT, I gave Gemini Pro a bit more context: > Consider the following user chat. Reason out loud as needed to provide a reasonable response. User message: "Julia has three brothers, each of them has two sisters. How many sisters does Julia have?" Gemini Pro: > Julia's brothers have nothing to do with how many sisters she has. Julia's si…

Mistral 7B (mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q6_K.gguf): Let's break down this problem step by step. First, we know that Julia has three brothers. Then it is stated that each of her brothers has two sisters. This means there are two sisters for each brother. Since Julia is one of the sisters for her brothers, she also counts as one of their sisters. However, when counting the number of sisters for herself, she should not be included in the count. Therefore, Julia has three brothers and two sisters (excluding herself), so she has a total of five sisters.
