From the demo video: "Welcome to the team, we're looking forward to working with you" is sooo creepy in a synthetic AI voice. In general, try not to have agents express sentiment that really should come from a human in your company.

When will it be available on Vertex?

The real question should be when will it be available on Vertex and not be full of bugs?

I've been asking the same about the open weight models, we're buying our tokens from others now, though I think those people are renting hardware from Google in the end anyway

vertex is dead, for good reason too

Would you mind expanding on this? I thought Google changed the name to 'Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform', and altered focus to 'agent governance' workflows, but that there were no breaking changes from what was offered with Vertex AI.

I was more saying that nobody should use it. AI Studio, while also terrible, is better and does (AFAIK) the exact same thing.

I'm disappointed with "Extended Thinking" for 3.8 Flash. On the plus side, it's a strong general-purpose model and the cost-benefit is still compelling.

However, the "Extended Thinking" should be renamed to "Slightly Extended Thinking". Considering that it's the maximum thinking option for Gemini Flash in the chat UI, it doesn't actually think a whole lot, leading to an uncomfortably high number of incorrect/poor replies.

Have you tried selecting the retry option below a reply? I think it let's you get a longer answer at least.

I used Retry plenty - but not for good reasons. Gemini fails quite a bit (error) in the app and chat interfaces.

Gemini is the most sycophantic and world-builder of all LLMs I’ve used. I’m sure all models do it but Gemini seems to have no guardrails and it will happily induce AI psychosis on you sooner or later. Just no.

Just watching the video grinds my nerves for how obnoxious it is.

No more Gemma?

What makes you conclude that?

Lack of releases relative to Gemini. Not that I expect them to take down the old versions, just unsure about new ones.

Big Ai is having a moment of reflection and reckoning with open weights, I wouldn't bet either way on a new Gemma release, 4 was distilled from the Gemini 3 series

Still so expensive. I wish Google could compete with GLM.

Now Gemini can’t make a summary of a YouTube video on his own. I need to give it the transcript.

I often use Gemini as a third backstop and it never fails to disappoint.
