Always the same with Google.

Gemini has been way behind from the start.

They use the firehose of money from search to make it as close to free as possible so that they have some adoption numbers.

They use the firehose from search to pay for tons of researchers to hand hold academics so that their non-economic models and non-economic test-time-compute can solve isolated problems.

It's all so tiresome.

Try making models that are actually competitive, Google.

Sell them on the actual market and win on actual work product in millions of people lives.

I'm sorry but this is an insane take. Flash is leading its category by far. Absolutely destroys sonnet, 5.2 etc in both perf and cost.

Pro still leads in visual intelligence.

The company that most locks away their gold is Anthropic IMO and for good reason, as Opus 4.6 is expensive AF


I think we highly underestimate the amount of "human bots" basically.

Unthinking people programmed by their social media feed who don't notice the OpenAI influence campaign.

With no social media, it seems obvious to me there was a massive PR campaign by OpenAI after their "code red" to try to convince people Gemini is not all that great.

Yea, Gemini sucks, don't use it lol. Leave those resources to fools like myself.
