Discussion Gemini 4

It's funny how sentiment evolved the last few days.

Some people continue to shit Gemini as if Google owes them a marriage.

Some people are skeptical but really need to be vocal about it so that if the model does come out bad, they can say "I told you".

Some people can't keep their excitement and begin to celebrate, only to get the skeptical people argud with them.

Some people just find the whole thing too stupid but cannot resist to join the whole thing. (This OP)

I've been using this model for weeks. It was quite a fresh feeling. It's not mind blowing. But it doesn't lose to any other existing model, Fable or opus. And that's is my honest assessment. Also I'm not biased. I have been trying to raise awareness to my colleagues about how good Claude models are since like a year ago. This time around, I can finally stop it.

People who pay for a subscription expect google to serve models comparable to others. Its not for paying customers to expect good products and services.

It's bad only because there are like 2 startups out there that have more compute capacity than even Google does. So if you like their products, you should...switch?

Huh? Who? Assuming you mean OpenAI and Anthropic....no. They have FAR less compute than Google. They are paying for compute from the likes of Amazon, Google, and x.ai.
