“I think the future that we're going to see with the multimodal live API is really the ability for the model to or just like generally for models to be co-present in the experiences that you are. And like, you could imagine your IDE is the best experience of this. You do a single button click, and instead of having, like, code autocomplete you actually have, like, someone pair programming there, right, with you, like a senior developer or whatever it is, in the IDE with you, seeing the exact things that you see, like, understanding the whole, and, like, you can share your entire screen, you can see the browser, and, like, literally in real time, seeing the same stuff that you're seeing, and I think this unlocks, like, a huge new array of product experiences”

“The actual model is two dollars per million input tokens and 12 dollars per million output tokens. So it's priced below some of those sort of comparable competitive models like GBT, 5.1 pro as an example, and Claude 4.5.”
Direct AI creation preserves story fidelity better than human intermediary layers
“What happens when you, as the person who like has a story to tell or like some idea, you have to like put it through this translate, this translation layer, especially when the translation layer is sometimes like a, you know, a bunch of people or something lik…”
Image quality does not degrade across multi-turn AI conversational edits
“The model doesn't like the image quality doesn't get worse as you like do a multi-turn edit. So like you don't need to get everything right on the first edit.”

Kilpatrick: Generating games is a proxy for an LLM's overall sophistication
“Games are just a proxy for like the model's overall capability. So like, Hey, maybe you're like, I don't actually care about building games. I think as you see some of these examples, it like speaks to the level of sophistication that the model has an understa…”
Kilpatrick: AI Studio demo was vibe-coded quickly, replacing months of engineering
“This is meant to showcase like, you know, single prompt, Generations maybe like a couple of multi-turn in some case, but like this isn't something that like we paid a team of like 10 engineers five months to come up with and then put it into our demo. Like thi…”
