Always the same with Google.

Gemini has been way behind from the start.

They use the firehose of money from search to make it as close to free as possible so that they have some adoption numbers.

They use the firehose from search to pay for tons of researchers to hand hold academics so that their non-economic models and non-economic test-time-compute can solve isolated problems.

It's all so tiresome.

Try making models that are actually competitive, Google.

Sell them on the actual market and win on actual work product in millions of people lives.
