I’m not familiar with what you’re referring to, but I’d guess it has to do with some academic breakthrough in transformers. But that wasn’t something they productized, was it? The comment I replied to seemed to be lamenting Google falling behind in the market, talking about closed models and Bard. My point is that Google doesn’t have much of a track record of homegrown invention that they’ve successfully brought to market. That doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t have good R&D, but that can be a lot like a university: all sorts of cool ideas and interesting discoveries, but it doesn’t necessarily translate directly into something useful.
