Interesting side effect of this is that Google Cloud may now be the only hype scaler that can resell all 3 of the labs models? Maybe I'm misinterpreting this, but that would be a notable development, and I don't see why Google would allow Gemini to be resold through any of the other cloud providers.
Might really increase the utility of those GCP credits.
- aurareturn 6mo agoMight not be good for Gemini long term if Anthropic and OpenAI can and will sell in every cloud provider they can find but businesses can only use Gemini via Google Cloud.
- jfoster 6mo agoGood for Google Cloud, bad for Gemini = ??? for Google
- stavros 6mo agoHow is it good for Gemini that it's not available on two out of three major cloud platforms?
- aurareturn 6mo agoIt isn't. That's why I said "might not be good for Gemini".
- stavros 6mo agoOof, I completely missed that "not", thanks.
- Melatonic 6mo agoExcept Gemini might end up being far cheaper per token due to the infrastructure advantage
- aurareturn 6mo agoDo we have proof that it's cheaper in terms of $/token/intelligence?
- Melatonic 6mo agoI think the public pricing usually has it cheaper (relatively). Obviously since AI is constantly evolving it's not going to compare as favourably farther to a major Gemini release I was mainly referring to the TPU hardware advantage + GCP running and designing their own datacenter stack.
- aurareturn 6mo agoDoes TpU actually have an advantage over Nvidia GPUs?
- retinaros 6mo agothat will likely mean the end of gemini models...
- gowld 6mo ago"hype scaler" indeed!
