    Who knew the real revenue unlock wouldn’t be based on how much paranoid red-teaming the model underwent to resist users jailbreaking its ‘alignment’, and instead more on whether the model is post-trained to use ‘sed’ and ‘git’? Poor Gemini

    Scientist-heavy orgs that want to solve everything in token space may overtook tool use; meanwhile Anthropic has been super focused on MCP, Claude Code etc for over a year

      Out of the three main US AI companies' models, Gemini is obviously the less aligned (read: censored). So I really don't know what you're talking about.

        Shhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

        The more people find out that gemini 3.1 pro on the google AI playground or via API is de-facto uncensored, the more likely google will put up actually working guardrails and end the fun for everyone!
