Dunno about you but to me it reads as a failure. It basically has AIAIAI, although they lost much of the ground to other companies whilst having an upper hand years ago. Then they mention 5yr anniversary of alphafold, also one of the googlers did research in the 80s for which he became a candidate for Nobel prize this year. And lastly, there was a weather model.

They tried so hard to be in the media over the last year that it was almost cringe. Given that most of their money is coming from advertising I would think they have an existential crisis to make sure folks are using their products and the ecosystem.

You write like someone who hasn't used Gemini in a very long time. In no sense whatever have Google lost ground to other AI companies this year. Rather the other way around.

The pace of change is quite fast, keeping on top of it is hard, but most importantly it is marginal from the user perspective. We do not have good tools to navigate the use of these models well yet, except coding, and coders can switch the model in a dropdown.

Imagine if they add ads into the responses, who will use it then?
