A kind of ancillary note, but it's amazing to me how fragmented this presentation and documentation is:
* the parent link is to storage.googleapis.com
* There's documentation on ai.google.dev
* The announcement blogpost is https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemma-3/ https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemma-3/
* you try it on https://aistudio.google.com/ https://aistudio.google.com/
It's helpful to have a top-level post like this, but can some PM please consolidate this into, IDK, ai.google.com/gemini?
- klysm 2y agoI don't see how this actually matters - who cares if it it's different top level domains?
- jhayward 2y agoTwo reasons it matters: 1) Discoverability 2) "System structure mirrors organization". I.E., it's an indicator of a fragmented and disorganized structure that's not likely to produce cohesive product results.
- mtrovo 2y ago> System structure mirrors organization You listed: - one static pdf file stored on a CDN - one company blog static website - one developer documentation static website - one interactive product URL As much as I like to dunk on how messy things can be at Google I don't think this is a really good example. Apart from small startups I would be scared if you served all of them from the same base host.
- setgree 2y agoThe many domains is a problem because it suggests a many-teams approach to product development, and the more cooks in the kitchen, the more likely a repeat of Gemini 1’s rollout, which was a mess [0]. Basically I’m looking to see that Google cares about the meta-level user experience of finding, understanding, and using its products, and scattering key usage details around the internet is not a good sign. It suggests deeper process problems if a simple issue like this either didn’t get noticed or can’t get fixed.

- bigdict 2y ago* the code is at https://github.com/google-deepmind/gemma https://github.com/google-deepmind/gemma * you download the weights at https://www.kaggle.com/models/google/gemma-3/ https://www.kaggle.com/models/google/gemma-3/
- matteocontrini 2y agoApparently ai.google.com currently redirects to ai.google, which is different from ai.google.dev where the Gemini stuff actually is.
