If you read his articles over the years you would continually think that Tesla should go out of business in the near future, yet they never do.

He might not specifically lie, but puts such a negative spin on anything Elon-related that the overall result is essentially a lie.


Good for Google Cloud, bad for Gemini = ??? for Google


Also much better than every website wanting its own 22 GB rather than the 22 GB being a shared resource.


I would very much like not to have to download 22 GB for some inference capability that is way worse than API calls both in terms of quality and speed.

I would rather pay money than seeing this thing running in my browser that only prints 5 tps on high-end consumer hardware.


Why are you pretending those are the options?

The options are:

1. 22GB per website

2. 22GB per browser

3. 0GB / No AI capabilities

By having this in Chrome they are simply ensuring that option 2 replaces option 1. You still have option 3.


No. The real options are

1. No AI

2. AI that works and is actually useful

3. AI that is slow, crappy and hallucinates all the time

I choose 1 and 2.


Fair, but actually you'd surely want your choice of those three, right?

And what's being discussed here is what the better implementation of option 3 is.

My point is that if you're going with one of the possible implementations of option 3, then 22GB per browser is objectively a lot better than 22GB per website.


Doesn't sound great, but consider how much better this is than every webpage trying to load their own models.

If it turns out useful enough I'm sure browsers will just start including it as (perhaps optional?) part of installation.

Well, Musk v OpenAI kicks off in one week from now with the objective of forcing them back to their roots. A jury will be deciding whether a nonprofit accepting $50m - $100m of donations and then discarding their mission for an IPO is OK or not. Should be interesting.

Designs have been settling on a local maxima. If you are aware of a better hill to be climbed, please do let everyone know.


It can write (some) code that works. Just roughly guessing from my use, but I think of it as being a bit like ChatGPT circa-2024 in terms of capability & speed.

Disappointing if you compare it to anything else from 2026, but fairly impressive for something that can run locally at an OK speed.


These are speed bumps for you but they make it nearly impossible for something to go mainstream, so rest assured they work extremely well on others.


Suspicion is in the eye of the beholder.


Really cool! Is this using a Google API? How is it not costing a small fortune?
