I haven't seen anyone [at] Sundar on X (FKA Twitter) yet. I am not sure how Sundar would be feeling about this. Hostility for Hixie probably. And it's safe to say that Hixie's return to Google has no chances now, not that

I didn't understand this well enough to appreciate it. What's the use cases and how about privacy? How's it different to regular GPT 4?

Few queries out of ignorance. What are some use cases for 128k context length?
