    Is anyone actually using Gemini directly?

    It sucks total bum compared to even some quality mid tier models on huggingface. Even the joke about ChatGPT was that it performs better than Google’s equally bum SEO’d search engine.

    I feel like Google is suffering much less at throwing it into all of their apps than MSFT doing the same with copilot.

      It’s still a leading long context model, IMO.

      But I think it feels dumb because the default “harness” is pretty simple and dumb, more than the base LLM.

      That, and it’s really awful at 1 temperature (which is its default).

      Maybe some leadership is guzzling Kool-aid over how bad Google search has gotten? Because it leans on that pretty heavily, without many other tools.
