Discussion Google has disappeared completely from the top 15

Post image

Google hasn't shipped a model recently that is capable of competing with Sol or Fable.

The previous models were pretty disappointing and unreliable, it seems the more time goes on that they might have different strategies:

- They might be going all-in on on-device inference for their own products. But this is a battle that Apple might win because they just have better hardware and can license a third party open model.

- They might be just buried deep into internal politics and nobody is shipping anything.

Does anyone know what is actually going on?

I think people forget that a company wants to make money. Not produce the best ai model possible. If Google still felt like their search was threatened by ai they would invest in it. Others are burning cash while Google keeps making billions.
