   > Google DeepMind: We are building strong momentum: Flash is in high demand, our Cyber model is live, and Gemma models have surpassed 900M+ downloads

   Considering these are the best stats they could find, gemini usage+general situation must be really, really bleak.

   High demand means nothing. A model being live is nothing to brag about. And gemma downloads also can be from auto CI pipelines etc. Nothing concrete

      > Flash is in high demand

      I said for a few years to many a downvote on HN, everyone wants AI, nobody wants to pay the true costs, the AI race will turn into a "race to the bottom" that is, who can give you the most compute for the lowest cost, and still remain profitable?

         That said though, Flash isn't it. The prices on the latest flash models put Sonnet and Terra to shame.
