Jeff Dean: The 1% Rule for Building in AI · Y Combinator Jul 30, 2026 · 4 mentions

  • ▶ 0:24 Diana Hu So, um, you built MapReduce, Bigtable, TensorFlow, the TPU, Gemini, we could spend a whole hour on all the things you've done.
  • ▶ 18:27 Diana Hu You have, you just need the API to something like Gemini, and then work on your own setup for your own retrieval, your own tool calls, and et cetera, et cetera.
  • ▶ 25:57 Jeff Dean Yeah, I mean, I think obviously Google and our Gemini models and our hardware infrastructure are really trying to build very general models that can do almost anything.
  • ▶ 49:40 Jeff Dean That's partly why our flash models, for example, in Gemini are so capable, uh, relative to their size and speed.

Recursion Is The Next Scaling Law In AI · Y Combinator May 1, 2026 · 1 mention

  • ▶ 35:59 Francois Chaubard The right answer is to, like, take the amazingness here, and take the amazingness here, which probably is already in Gemini already, or some of these, it might be at least in some part, um, but when you, when you take, um, the benefit of…

Demis Hassabis: Agents, AGI & The Next Big Scientific Breakthrough · Y Combinator Apr 29, 2026 · 15 mentions

  • ▶ 1:34 Garry Tan Today, Demis leads Google DeepMind, where he's building Gemini and pushing toward the same goal he set when he was a teenager, artificial general intelligence.
  • ▶ 6:16 Garry Tan How much of that philosophy is actually embedded in how you're building Gemini today?
  • ▶ 8:12 Garry Tan I think, you know, you guys have incredible flash models that are like nine, like you're finding that they're 95% as good as, uh, the frontier and at like one-tenth the price. 2 times in the scene
  • ▶ 8:55 Demis Hassabis Um, there are obviously there's search with AI overviews and AI mode and there's Gemini app. 2 times in the scene
  • ▶ 14:05 Demis Hassabis Like one thing, uh, I sometimes like to do is, is play chess against Gemini and, you know, it's,
  • ▶ 22:31 Garry Tan Gemini was built multimodal 4 times in the scene
  • ▶ 35:35 Demis Hassabis We're working on these general systems like that, like, I think we have this system called CoScientist, and we have other algorithms like AlphaVolve that can go a little bit beyond what the basic Gemini will do, and obviously all the…
  • ▶ 39:51 Demis Hassabis So one thing I can think see happening is Gemini, Claude, or one of these general systems making use of alpha fold, like specialized systems as tools. 3 times in the scene

  • ▶ 18:13 Garry Tan And nobody wanted to do it because like the bar for chat, especially for AI is so high that anything that is not like, you know, Gemini or ChatGPT or Claude, people just assume it's just too stupid.

The Truth About The AI Bubble · Y Combinator Dec 22, 2025 · 20 mentions

  • ▶ 3:18 Jared Friedman How about Gemini? 2 times in the scene
  • ▶ 3:21 Diana Hu Gemini's also pretty much has been climbing up pretty, pretty high. 10 times in the scene
  • ▶ 3:34 Diana Hu And, ah, we've personally been using also a lot of Gemini three point
  • ▶ 5:27 Garry Tan And I don't expect Gemini to ever have 2 times in the scene
  • ▶ 6:12 Garry Tan But simultaneously, I'm sure you took the, uh, PDFs and just like dropped them into Gemini and said like, well, summarize and tell me what's important for me. 2 times in the scene
  • ▶ 7:43 Diana Hu For example, I heard from the startup, they use Gemini three to do the context engineering, which they actually then fed into open AI to execute it.
  • ▶ 8:52 Harj Taggar But then to me, at least as all vibes based, like Gemini surge, especially over the last few months, just feels like it returns us to a world of where exactly that, like the models are all essentially commoditizing each other.
  • ▶ 10:44 Garry Tan You know, I think I'm still a long-term buy and hold, honestly, but for the moment, people are like, oh, well, Gemini's so good, and all the, you know, nobody seems to be NVIDIA only now, and everyone's buying AMD, and everyone's, you…

  • ▶ 38:41 Nick Joseph Gemini at 90%, and that's like a big difference.
  • ▶ 59:28 Ankit Gupta Like, I saw there's like a Gemini diffusion model, and I think about that in the space I used to be in, where, um, there's a lot of discrete diffusion models being used in protein design, for example, the space where my startup was.

Aravind Srinivas: Perplexity's Race to Build Agentic Search · Y Combinator Jul 11, 2025 · 2 mentions

  • ▶ 15:53 Aravind Srinivas Now at least you're like, oh, I first go ask this app, like I'll ask Google, or I'll ask ChatGPT, or I'll ask Perplexity, or I'll ask Gemini, and then maybe you don't even ask Google anymore, you just ask the AI apps, and there are a bunch…
  • ▶ 35:02 unnamed speaker And perplexity sort of has that issue too with, like, a lot of LLMs adding search, like TadGBT, Gemini, companies like Cohere.

  • ▶ 6:42 Andrej Karpathy So, um, LLM labs like OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropica, et cetera, they spend CapEx to train the LLMs, and this is kind of equivalent to building out a grid, and then there's OpEx to serve that intelligence over APIs to all of us. 2 times in the scene

State-Of-The-Art Prompting For AI Agents · Y Combinator May 30, 2025 · 4 mentions

  • ▶ 12:18 Harj Taggar Um, one thing I found useful is as you're using it, if you just note down in a Google doc things that you're seeing, just, um, the outputs not being how you want or ways that you can think to improve it, you can just write those in note…
  • ▶ 13:00 Jared Friedman Cause if you're just using Gemini via the API until recently, you did not get the thinking traces and like the thinking traces are like the critical debugging information to like, understand like 3 times in the scene

  • ▶ 1:40 Pete Koomen The example that I chose in my essay, uh, was to pick on the integration that the Gmail team built between their AI model, Gemini, and Gmail's, uh, interface that, uh, this is a little draft writing agent that can create 3 times in the scene
  • ▶ 8:33 Pete Koomen What I've done here is I just take the little program in my brain that is used for writing emails, and I've done my best to explain to Gemini how I do that.
  • ▶ 14:07 Pete Koomen And I'm just explaining to Gemini how I do this work so that it can do it on my behalf.

  • ▶ 10:20 Tom Blomfield Maybe it's Gemini.
  • ▶ 15:55 Tom Blomfield For example, at the moment, Gemini seems best for whole code-based indexing and coming up with implementation plan, while Sonnet 3.7, to me at least, seems like the leading contender to actually implement the code changes.

  • ▶ 17:15 Bob McGrew And so I think we're going to see this a lot going forward, especially if you, if you look at, you know, the Sonnet versus Haiku, you know, Gemini versus Gemini flash, you know, O-one versus O-one mini, four O-mini, um, every lab has…
