It is not just LLM though. Google is big tech and they have to fend off AI browsers, AI image generation, Github Co-Pilot, Office 365 with LLM, Notion AI. Chatbots is just one narrow product. So far they have an inferior chatbot layer to their "much better" LLM, as an experimental beta product, and we are just talking about a chatbot product. It comes down to are they able to offer their models so that startups can start building on it while also showing that they can integrate it in all their products, and will the devs use it? By the time they release their APIs they will be so much behind in network effect , and they are so worried about Google Search being their main revenue driver that they are being attacked on all fronts while they are only worried about Search for now.
