It's discouraging to see Google price Gemini 3.5 Flash at 3x the cost of Gemini 3 Flash. I would think that most people that deployed this model in production would have used it for low latency tasks, classification/categorization, customer support or basic RAG-/RAG-style chatbots. Performance on coding benchmarks is nice and all, but where is the "intelligence too cheap to measure"? This new cost point is quite proh…

Expect all models to increase in price 3x with new releases. They're easing us into the margins they're targeting.

Flash 3 wasnt appropriately priced, it was priced to get you used to a certain level of spending, then they'll crank it up and get you used to the next level of spending.

"AI Mode" usage is up month over month. Almost like because they forced it upon everyone. Once again, is there any real AI demand?

At the moment, I end up using AI mode only because the ads are not as prominent as the normal search.

Do you use an adblocker? Google also added a "Web" filter that removes all the AI slop and you can create a link to it: https://udm14.com/

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)…

I can't think of a way to mock all the ai hype more than what they actually just talk about.

You can tell the labs are scrambling with this agentic nonsense. Nobody really knows what to do with it. All 3 major labs streamlined their desktop apps and plans to be the exact same. And we are still doing email drafts as "consumer use cases". As I'm typing this they are talking about reimagining the search box. They turned it into a chat window. Truly the pinnacle of innovation.

Indeed it is. I always wanted to chat with my clippy. Finally, after 20-25 years I now have the opportunity to do so /s

Theres no way Google won't win the AI race $INTC and $GOOG are good buys right now!

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.

Judging by global RAM, storage, and compute hardware demand, yes there is.

Yeah I mean Big Tech are using a lot of it because they're training models and shoving AI into everything. But if they weren't forcing it upon people, would that same demand be there?

Watching these bland presentations with choreographed delivery and reading off a prompt off-screen (I'm not completely sure they're doing this, but it looks like it) makes me appreciate Steve Jobs presentations from the past so much more.

Steve really had product presentations down. I wish people at least tried to copy him.
