Google is fighting for its life here. They are not worried about cost.
- kccqzy 3y agoGoogle is one of the most cost conscious companies in tech when it comes to compute costs. Sure they are blind to other kinds of cost like reputation damage due to stupid leadership decisions. But in terms of their tech, they run their servers and their network to very high utilization, definitely exceeding competitors like Amazon.
- qeternity 3y agoYou mention cost, and then proceed to describe efficiency. They are different things. They can spend billions giving away compute (cost) and be extremely efficient (high utilization) in doing so.
- KeplerBoy 3y agoThen what's your explanation for them not deploying Gemini? It's either to expensive or they just don't think it's that important to have a competitive, accessible model out there (which is a valid stance imo).
- qeternity 3y agoI don’t really know tbh. I don’t think their current position is because of penny pinching. They invented the transformer and slept on it while OAI ate their lunch.
