Kilpatrick: Gemini 3.0 Pro latency roughly matches Gemini 2.5 Pro
“I think for folks, again, who have used 2.5 pro, I think three point O pro is like roughly on par from a latency standpoint. So there's no I think in some cases it's actually, it's a little bit higher latency, but obviously the model is much smarter.”
Kilpatrick: Google AI Studio is best-in-class in areas but still behind in others
“I think there is a, we have a bunch of gaps. There's a bunch of things that I'm really excited about, like it's free, it's powered by three point O pro. It has all these AI features built in. Like there's a bunch of things that are unique that I think we're li…”
Only a handful of products currently serve massive consumer AI image demand

“That is all vibe coded just using the camera out of the box, which is a ton of fun.”
Kilpatrick: Google AI Studio directly hooks generated apps into Gemini API
“Behind the scenes for folks who haven't played around this experience before, we have sort of all the Gemini API, like all of Google's AI model infrastructure hooked up behind the scenes. So when you ask for AI features the model is like really well primed and…”
Kilpatrick: Prompting models for 5 extra features solves vibe coding block
“And I, my routinely use this sort of prompt, which I have here, which is just like add in five additional features. And the model sort of takes in all this context and all these ideas that I wouldn't have thought of. And like, even if they're crappy ideas, I c…”
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image is Google's state-of-the-art image generation model
“We're talking about Nano Banana, AKA Gemini, 2.5 flash image, which is our new Gemini state of the art image generation and specifically image editing model which folks are loving and no pun intended going bananas for right now.”
Low latency in generation models unlocks previously unbuildable image editing experiences
“There's a lot of these like editing experiences or these generation experiences that you can't usually build just because like it takes 45 seconds and like our user is really going to sit there and wait while the thing is generating. So there's like a, there's…”
Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Image costs roughly four cents per image

Layering multiple edit instructions causes AI image models to lose intent
