    They keep announcing new 3.8 variants. I wonder why they still haven't updated 3.1 Pro yet.

      Probably $$$ and limit to internal compute. Rumour is they even internal google employees have trouble getting compute for AI stuff. Guessing they're pretty slammed infrastructure wise with adding AI answers to default Google searches

      IMHO its obviously: they cant compete with SotA models in benchmaxxing. They can and do compete on price though.
