If this were true you could do a talk now and measure it and do it every week and see if it was still true or not and be the first to catch them in the act!
Gemini Flash was my daily driver until 1017 dropped. Not that 1017 is better, they both are dumb in their own ways, it’s just available at far higher tok/sec.
Gemini models also historically are the best writers. 3.1 was the first model I saw that made actually funny jokes regularly.
Is anyone actually using those features? I feel like this still very much just Codex vs Claude code, and if codex has the better model everyone will switch in a week.
All the other products feels like a (desperate?) attempt to create moat and friction for switching models.
I feel like all these versus arguments are absolutely opinion and preference, but really deep down do hint at a modification that will be hard to ignore as an investor.
If AMD and Nvidia could make the exact same thing the exact same rates, why would the stock price of one be higher than the other?
Futo keyboard on Android has a transformer LM option that uses local ML for text prediction, I've found it to work very well. As far as I'm aware it's completely on device.
How many websites do you go to a month? Hundreds? Thousands? And you want the ISP to handle the payment processing out to them? Many probably international? And each ISP doing this on their own?
Sure, why not? They're billion dollar corporations, they can handle some basic payment processing. If it creates a genuinely better user experience, it will increase customer loyalty and make them money in the long run.
I'd rather my ISP and ad networks have harsh criminal penalties with prison time for management, engineers, and everyone else involved for tracking what sites I visit. That would be a genuinely better experience.
I mean, I obviously agree...but time and time again, consumers keep showing that they're willing to give up privacy for a bit of convenience. Might as well use that to make the web a better place.
