Looks like Google's given up on frontier models for external consumption?
- ok123456 14d agoGiven up frontier models for selling compute.
- iamdelirium 14d agoHow can you say that when a Flash model is benchmarking close to Opus and Sol?
- heyjamesknight 14d agoGemini 4 pre training is underway: https://x.com/OfficialLoganK/status/2079594867161022817 https://x.com/OfficialLoganK/status/2079594867161022817 My guess is we skip 3.5 and go straight to 4 Pro. With the monthly Flash releases, releasing 4.0 Flash and Pro in 6-8 weeks would be a nice buildup. (I work at Google but don't know anything that isn't already public)
- WarmWash 14d agoLatest rumor is that 3.5 pro was struggling to be meaningfully better than flash, since iterations on flash were moving much faster than iterations on pro, likely due to model size (flash is estimated to be in the 200-400B range).
- VirusNewbie 14d agoI found 3.5 pro to be much better than 3.5 flash, but 3.7 flash with high reasoning is comparable and way way faster.
- j16sdiz 14d agoThere are no public release of 3.5 pro. Either its a typo, or you have some insider information

- WarmWash 14d agoGooglers and some external workplaces have had 3.5 pro access for a few months now.
- thisisauserid 14d agoThey don't want to release a frontier model that requires data sharing with the government and right now it looks like they'd have to.
