Interesting side effect of this is that Google Cloud may now be the only hype scaler that can resell all 3 of the labs models? Maybe I'm misinterpreting this, but that would be a notable development, and I don't see why Google would allow Gemini to be resold through any of the other cloud providers.
Might really increase the utility of those GCP credits.
- aurareturn 5mo agoMight not be good for Gemini long term if Anthropic and OpenAI can and will sell in every cloud provider they can find but businesses can only use Gemini via Google Cloud.
- jfoster 5mo agoGood for Google Cloud, bad for Gemini = ??? for Google
- stavros 5mo agoHow is it good for Gemini that it's not available on two out of three major cloud platforms?
- aurareturn 5mo agoIt isn't. That's why I said "might not be good for Gemini".
- stavros 5mo agoOof, I completely missed that "not", thanks.
- Melatonic 5mo agoExcept Gemini might end up being far cheaper per token due to the infrastructure advantage
- aurareturn 5mo agoDo we have proof that it's cheaper in terms of $/token/intelligence?
- Melatonic 5mo agoI think the public pricing usually has it cheaper (relatively). Obviously since AI is constantly evolving it's not going to compare as favourably farther to a major Gemini release I was mainly referring to the TPU hardware advantage + GCP running and designing their own datacenter stack.
- aurareturn 5mo agoDoes TpU actually have an advantage over Nvidia GPUs?
- retinaros 5mo agothat will likely mean the end of gemini models...
- gowld 5mo ago"hype scaler" indeed!
