Is Google simply more transparent than other labs with regard to exposing their training progress?

I’d like to think other labs are making similar progress but hold their cards closer to their chests. Because it doesn’t seem that there’s much value signaling capability ahead of release unless you are “behind” in market capture.

What area of basic research are they bemoaning?

Because as I see it, there are a lot of already established labs that could take research like this a lot further with the help of AI instead of just throwing more agents at the problem.

That’s my confusion around this topic. Does the strategy change when you can throw a bonkers amount of compute at the problem with fewer guardrails?

I’m confused why AI companies are using agents in-house for this type of research instead of partnering externally.

I guess the improvement loop is tighter and they have more control over how discoveries can be used for marketing?

But, in my mind, it begins to feel like they are setting themselves up to be “everything” companies instead of focusing on their core product…

Do people prefer the new flat style LLMs are producing? I don’t mind it as much as the gradient theme they were pumping out previously.

If anything is worthy of the title “load-bearing” it’s IE…

Is that the main differentiator? Not the use of a microphone to create the transcription?

If it doesn’t record anything how does it make a transcript? I think some of these laws are strict enough such that no audio recording, even if it’s immediately discarded, is legal.

But of course, I am not a lawyer.

Had this thought during the presentation. How is the “rewind” feature legal? Don’t a lot of states have laws against making secret recordings?

For all of the comments about training: I thought that subscription plans for other models allow the same. Am I mistaken?
