   I would just LOVE to see all the behind-the-scenes shithousery both companies are employing to one-up the other in this, largely, 2-horse AGI race. Someone should make a mockumentary when all is said and done!

      > largely 2-horse

      The absolute frontier is largely 2-horse, but the rest of the pack is very close behind, which I'm grateful for. Grok, Facebook, and the Chinese vendors are producing excellent models.

         Gemini is also pretty nice for researching things. It turns out that having the whole internet indexed and having unlimited access to YouTube is a force multiplier of some kind.

         Since Google has their own TPUs, TPS is also pretty high w.r.t. Claude, for example.

            Since Gemini 3.8 Flash release, I've been largely using that for my coding ttasks. The architectureand design work I use Opus, but the rest of the work is done via Gemini 3.8. I don'thave to worry aboutweekly limits even on the $20 plan. I get down to about 10% weekly limit before it resets. Currently I'm building my own generative modeling + aero sim package largely using Gemini and it's been working great.
