Yeah, what I was trying to say is "the criticism doesn't make sense to me because I forget because I have access to the good stuff."

As a Google employee my defense is it's hard for a company this big to move fast, but I can understand how Google customers would be annoyed.

Didn’t check agy or AI studio, but at least Argon is available in Gemini page/app.

There's nothing unnecessarily rude about my comment, they are literally unable to get their act together on product.

The top level comment blamed cheerleading but let's apply critical thinking for a second as product people and look at the funnel:

1. Potential users sees new release 2. Potential user takes time to install and set up Google harness (you already lost 90% of people here, the funnel better close quick!) 3. Potential user cannot use new model.

Then what? You hope they developed good will towards your model through this experience?

You stuck a two week wait in your funnel? Is that the definition of not having your act together or what?

We're on HN, how many of us have heard from Google staff this kind of stuff is a result of them growing so big that AI Cloud has to compete with Vertex Cloud, and AI cloud exists because Vertex Cloud needed 2 years to get OAI/Ant style API keys working and were losing dev mindshare in the meantime?
