it's really amazing how in IT we always recycle the same ten names... in the last three years, "gemini" refers (at least) to: - gemini protocol, the smolnet companion (gemini://geminiprotocol.net/ - https://geminiprotocol.net/ ) - gemini somethingcoin somethingcrypto (I will never link it) - gemini google's ML/AI (here we are)

Naming things is one of the two hardest problems in computer science, after all.

Gemini Nano sounds like the most exciting part IMO. IIRC Several people in the recent Pixel 8 thread were saying that offloading to web APIs for functions like Magic Eraser was only temporary and could be replaced by on-device models at some point. Looks like this is the beginning of that.

I think a lot of the motivation for running it in the cloud is so they can have a single point of control for enforcing editing policies (e.g. swapping faces).

It is on purpose to have an excuse of wiping out search results for interesting piece of technology. The same was with serverless which became "serverless".

Interesting that they're announcing Ultra many months in advance of the actual public release. Isn't that just giving OpenAI a timeline for when they need to release GPT5? Google aren't going to gain much market share from a model competitive with GPT4 if GPT5 is already available.

It's truly astounding to me that Google, a juggernaut with decades under its belt on all things AI, is only now catching up to OpenAI which is on all camps a fraction of its size.

This is Android moment for Google. They will go full throttle on it till they become dominant in every respect.

Apple lost the PC battle, MS lost the mobile battle, Google is losing the AI battle. You can't win everywhere.

Beautifully said.

So basically:

Apple lost the PC battle and won mobile,

Microsoft lost the mobile battle and (seemingly) is winning AI,

Google is losing the AI battle, but will win .... the Metaverse? Immersive VR? Robotics?

Heh, I read that and had the opposite conclusion. When I was reading the benchmarks and seeing how Gemini Ultra was outperforming GPT-4 I thought, "Finally, some competition for GPT4"! But when I got to that part, that's when I realized that it could potentially be caught in release hell and not actually see the light of day or significant use.

"Google, for better or worse, has more of a brand reputation to maintain"

You think this is why Google is so far behind?
