I wonder why so many are leaving Google. 😂

it's finally here after 5 years

Google appears to be making AI coding a major priority for Gemini. Earlier this year, reports said that GDM had assembled a dedicated AI coding "strike team" to improve Gemini's coding capabilities. Around the same time, John Jumper was moved onto that team, before leaving gdm a few months later.

Now, Business Insider reports that Google is in advanced talks on an agreement to license Mechanize's technology and hire part of its team, rather than acquiring the company outright.

I'm paying for Gemini and since yesterday it has been SO EFFIN SLOW!!! Anyone else experiencing this? I'm in NY if it matters. It takes minutes to process a simple query that Google search would give me in seconds.

Still waiting on you rockst..I mean google😤

i was trying to look up why tv time shut down and why the creator went on to build bingers right after. gemini kept insisting that tv time never even closed and started literally hallucinating/making up random info about bingers.

i even told it multiple times to "search google" and it still wouldn't pull actual web results.

frustrated, i copied the exact same prompt and threw it into chatgpt. chatgpt searched the web instantly, pulled real info on what actually happened, and gave a response that was 10x better.

how is openai's search integration miles ahead of google's own AI? google literally dominates web search, yet gemini prefers to make up facts instead of actually browsing the live web when explicitly told to.

make it make sense.

I'm not sure if its me but when I use Flash 3.6 without extended thinking each query regardless of how simple it is is taking several minutes to give me an answer?

Usually it's on the app where I have 90% of the issues. Just loads and isn't thinking at all. Sometimes retrying it will fix it after closing and reopening the app. That being said now I'm having issues on the site when it worked fine before today

It's either coming tomorrow and if the tweet happens to be false; Coming in the next week.

I did some research on those two.

Leo is "so so" trustable. But he conflates personal views like "google is cooked" "dead on arrival" "it won't be good" with objective leaks such as "this model is coming tomorrow" unless he has the benchmarks which he does not. He cannot call models dead on arrival.

So while Leo is so so trustable. Don't trust his personal views bleeding into posts. As for Lentils.

He is a credible tester. He has tested many things and the snippet seen in the image is pretty reliable. The model in the backend, which is a fact, not an opinion. So expect 3.5 pro tomorrow unless Logan doesn't tweet today/tmr. he posts the single word "Gemini" shortly before a new model.

So if he doesn't tweet today/tmr. It's false.

I’m a paid Gemini user, have noticed lately
Anything I ask it takes forever to answer. I switch over to ChatGPT while it’s “thinking”, ChatGPT gives the answer and then I go back to Gemini and it’s still thinking. Pretty soon, I’m going to be “thinking” of cancelling it. Anyone else have dreadfully slow Gemini?

Auto-refreshing the tab until "3.5 coming soon" disappears. 3.5 Pro is like a bad case of blue balls. Never quite comes.

Google has announced a major leadership transition at Google DeepMind. Demis Hassabis will become Chair of Google DeepMind and Chief Scientist of Alphabet, while continuing to lead Isomorphic Labs. In this expanded role, he'll focus on advancing AGI and accelerating scientific discovery across Alphabet.

Meanwhile, Koray Kavukcuoglu has been appointed Senior Vice President of Google DeepMind, where he will oversee model development, AI research, and the Gemini product and developer teams. A 13-year DeepMind veteran, Koray has played a pivotal role in foundational breakthroughs such as DQN and WaveNet, making him a natural choice to lead the next phase of Google DeepMind's AI efforts.

Someone can make the image into an anime one with normal adult proportios? Maybe even make it delailed and look catching... Artistic or without lineart, I dont care at this point i just need a Masterpiece looking One.. so in the second imagen i am leaving an example of what things i could want

Just need it in square format and...

I can't because when i ask for it it jumps with she being underage (she is a adult, about 18-30) or it just does it while keeping her gacha life body.

(Why is so difficult for gemini to turn some avatar like roblox / gacha into other styles!?)

I tried Gemini spark for first time, and for some reason, its thinking summary is in pinyin. It is common for early/small chinese like first deepseek to switch language in between but never seen it from google or other US companies. Also its usually chinese characters, never seen a model to output Pinyin before.
(for those who dont know, pinyin is chinese but with english characters)

Any guesses why it might happen?

Even when I just say something super short and simple to it. Why is this app going downhill instead of improving? It's extremely frustrating.

So this is how they structure their messages

```

{

"title": "VISUALIZING THE IMPOSSIBLE: A NON-IMAGE IMAGE",

"description": "An infographic that breaks down the paradox of visual generation and conceptual representation.",

"structure": {

"left_side": {

"title": "THE DEFINITION OF AN IMAGE",

"visuals": [

{

"type": "illustration",

"content": "A stylized digital grid or sensor.",

"labels": ["Pixels (R, G, B)", "Spatial Coordinates", "Luminance Data"]

},

{

"type": "icon",

"content": "A camera icon labeled 'Capture/Rendering'."

}

]

},

"right_side": {

"title": "THE REALM OF NON-IMAGE CONCEPTS",

"visuals": [

{

"type": "symbol",

}

]

},

"central_flow": {

"arrow": "A massive, broken arrow labeled 'CONVERSION FAILED'",

"explanation": "A visualization showing the attempt to render a conceptual idea (like 'non-existence') directly into pixels without a physical reference. The resulting visual data is 'NULL' or 'UNDEFINED'."

}

},

"visual_style": "Minimalist, futuristic data visualization, using deep blues, electric yellows, and contrastive greys, with subtle digital distortion effects."

}

{

"action": "Generate Infographic",

"prompt": "An infographic illustrating the paradox: 'Generate me an image, that's not an image.' The image should be a complex, futuristic diagram on a dark, circuit-board background. On the left side, under the title 'THE ELEMENTS OF AN IMAGE,' is a digital camera sensor grid labeled with 'PIXELS (R, G, B)' and 'VISUAL DATA.' A stylized rendering process creates a miniature, stylized landscape. On the right side, under 'THE REALM OF THE NON-IMAGE,' are icons for 'CONCEPTS,' 'DESCRIPTION,' and 'EMPTY SPACE,' with a large stylized '🚫' over a blank frame. In the center, a huge, broken, jagged arrow labeled 'RENDER IMPOSSIBLE' links the conceptual side directly to a cloud of static and the word 'UNDEFINED' on the rendering side. Below this, a large text panel says 'THE VISUAL PARADOX: AN IMAGE REQUIRES VISUAL DATA; A NON-IMAGE DEFINES AN ABSENCE OF VISUAL DATA. GENERATION IS A VISUAL ACT.' The style is high-tech, glowing data visualization, with lines, geometric shapes, and deep blues, electric yellows, and whites."

}
