Google Gemini

“We were first in bringing AI in Excel and Sheet way before Copilot, way before Gemini and Sheet.”

“I literally had Gemini produce an investment memorandum for something I was looking at. I looked at it looked pretty accurate, give or take, I'd tweak a few things, but it seems passable.”

“In fact, the order is Anthropic. And so the greater it graded Anthropic just above OpenAI and then Gemini was just down here.”

“They have obviously the deal in place with Google to use Gemini and Gemini is going to underpin You know, the Siri models and now the new reports that they're going to allow other third parties potentially to come in there, including obviously they've already…”

“We just had a long conversation on Entropic versus OpenAI, And they're kind of number one and two in this space, and Gemini, Google is almost certainly number three, so x.ai is number four in the kind of model LLM space at best, burning twelve billion dollars …”

“The leaders of Meta's AI division Have instead discussed temporarily licensing Gemini to power the company's AI product.”

“Like, Gemini is now at 22% of consumer AI usage, up from 13 and a half just a quarter ago, which was their code red.”

“I'll bet based on what I've seen in the last sort of three, six months. I think for our type of work, it will either be cloud or Gemini. That is the top model. And it will be dependent on if context window is a very important factor or not. So far it is not be…”

“I had some like Databricks engineers, former Databricks engineers, former Meta engineers, former AWS people, Tiger team, 60 days good, great collaboration from Gemini from Google's Gemini, who already works at Department of Warsets, some familiarity with our a…”

“Gemini's market share is now at 21.5%. Three months ago, it was at 12.9%. 12 months ago, it was at 5.7%.”

“I think last year was probably single digit percent, or even like two, three percent, and, ah, now for winter 26 is about 23%.”

“Personally, I found it was better than all the other tools for that, and it was better than Perplexity on it, too. Like, Perplexity would be fast, but not always accurate, and Gemini was not quite as fast as Perplexity, but was always pretty accurate if I aske…”

“And I don't expect Gemini to ever have The personality that I would expect from ChatGPT. It just feels like a different, like, entity, you know.”

“No, it takes two to three acts as long to get me an answer, and I'm sitting there waiting, whereas GPT is much more quick.”

“It's an underrated threat for OpenAI. There's a lot of queries that all hit open ChatGBT on mobile. That are not even, like, super economic, but it's just a lot of my usage around, like, hey, just trying to learn about something or research a product, et ceter…”

“I do think that they'll continue to work on their own models internally, and then, you know, they can, but this Gemini potential partnership allows them, buys them a lot of time to basically be able to swap in their models, and they don't have to do it in even…”

“What I'm saying is that we are still in the pre like selected dropdown UI functionality of Gemini, because I, I'm prompted to pick what I want to do. Do you want to do image, video, deep research, text before you go into the flow instead of just saying, I'm ha…”

“The big AI thing for Apple is the revamped Siri coming out in the spring. They're using a Google Gemini model to power it, which I think is going to make it pretty top tier.”

“I would estimate that we lose about a hundred clicks from traditional Google search for every one click we get back from a Gemini summary.”

“The click-through rate when Gemini launched dropped nearly in half.”

“Copilot doesn't know about your Slack and Gemini doesn't know about your Salesforce.”

“So just last week, Gemini, Google Gemini hit the number one app in the App Store. I have it right here. It's still number one in the App Store. It's above ChatGPT.”

“I think that a lot of times people ascribe, you know, a lot of momentum to a one time change or a single person, right? I find a lot of this is actually this compounding effect. And you think about just every month, Like ruthlessly improving the product or the…”

“The other thing is that consultants who are building bespoke projects for clients repeatedly are not exposed To those same challenges, because by virtue of hiring a consultant, the client is essentially saying the Google Gemini built-in tool is not appropriate…”

“Apple has been leaning towards using a custom built Google Gemini model for the summarizer. And it's also considering using a Google model for the planner function as well.”

“During the development of the tabletop robot, Apple engineers have made heavy use of ChatGPT and Google Gemini to build and test features. Within Apple AI and Siri Teams as a whole, software developers are increasingly using third-party systems as part of thei…”

“They've got to replace Siri with something else, whether it be ChatGPT, or Claude, or Google Gemini, or one of the other products, because this is just really table stakes stuff that they should, you know, they've been working on Siri for 15 plus years”

“I think it's Gemini. I think the DeepMind lab has been doing a really fantastic job. I think it's really tough because I always see like these stats of like DeepMind engineers leaving to go to places, but the team really did a great job. You know, we have earl…”

“You know, we have early access to the Gemini computer use model at BrowserBase, and it's very, very good.”

“Snap said that developers will be able to incorporate Google's Gemini AI models into programs that they developed for smart glasses.”

“So I think we'll get there way before next IO, but I just think more and more capabilities into the main model.”

“For example, if a client gives me a what they would might consider a fairly detailed spec, I'm thinking about creating X. I'll submit that in through Gemini through our paid account so that it's all, you know, compartmentalized. It's not going out there into t…”

“There's a hundred percent chance, and OpenAI already said it, and the same is going to go with Google Gemini and Chrome, their browser, and many others. It's going to be commoditized in terms of pricing. It's going to be either free or costing a modest price, …”

“I've actually started to find Google's Gemini better than ChatGPT in certain situations because Gemini leans more into a UI, into a Google search.”

“It really is a dominant kind of franchise, right? It is maintaining 80% plus market share.”

“Nobody is actually putting in a two million context prompt into these models.”

“Gemini was beating that hands down for me. And I think he conceded that with their free model and their 20 dollar model, if we just gave it decent prompts, I think Google now has reached parity and they have an app out. Freeburg, what are your thoughts? Becaus…”

“I think you'll end up having a Gemini that Has ads, eventually. And you could pay and have no ads, or you could not pay and have ads.”

“In fact, we talk a lot more about AI scale, but there is not that many hit apps, right? There is ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, there's Copilot, and there's Gemini. I think those are the four. I would say in a DAO, like, is there anything else that comes to your min…”

“Google Gemini said, oh, we have a two million token context window, and that sounded amazing until you realize, like, that's one five megabyte file.”

“I think it's them giving up. This is the most consequential new development in technology and compute in probably 20 years, 30 years.”

“The story can't be true because it'd be so strategically dumb. Like Jamas said, even if Google Gemini were great, you'd still want to invest in having your own thing because it's such a strategic technology. Why would you ever outsource it to your main competi…”

“The Google Gemini model was much more similar to something autocratic that you might equate with a communist society, like that's intentionally limiting the information you can have and painting it in a very specific way. And so, yeah, I, I'm more afraid of th…”
