100% and if you have any snack type things you already bought you should do a full pantry clear out of all the crap.

They wouldn’t be on the frontier at all if it weren’t for this pricing.

It seems like the library has more movies than my local video store ever did at this point. But you can’t really talk there, and they don’t show movies on the screen. Maybe they should set up a separate section to give more of a 90s Blockbuster vibe with a dedicated movie librarian, that would be fun.

Free plan, the default tier without requiring a subscription. If you use through the Gemini App or gemini.google without paying anything, the model used is 3.6 Flash.
Rankings for text are here https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text
For comparison of Free Tiers: - Gemini serves 3.6-flash (rank 12) - ChatGPT serves 5.5-Instant (rank 23) - Claude serves Sonnet 5 (rank 27) - Meta AI serves muse-spark-1.1 (rank 5)
While Meta AI serves the better ranked model, it doesn't end up working that well for other things. For example, if I ask "help me buy a new raincoat", it ends up suggesting a Cambodian website, whereas Google is well integrated with Google shopping. It doesn't have the same integration with GApps outside of Gmail/Calendar. A few other email connectors are available.
Claude has one of the best interfaces with connectors, skills, and plugins galore, but the model and limits are restrictive on the free tier.
Gemini, as far as I know, I've never hit a rate limit on Flash.
I believe Gemini is going to gain market share through the free tier funnel while serving models as cost-effectively as possible. People are going to use Gemini because they use GApps and Google.
ChatGPT and Anthropic are going to be competing for the API/Business users, but for everyone else they are going have to become Google before Google becomes them.

They are working on coming up with a better code name. You know, something like ”Fable” or ”Sol”, gotta have one these days. Personally I think they should go with “Mafia”. How cool would that sound? 3.6 Mafia.

IMO Gemini has the best free tier models/app for everyday use. Muse-Spark is perhaps just slightly better, but has none of the connectivity to my GApps (for things like “create a recipe in my Google Docs from this image”).
Plus they are probably running these things on every Google search so saving tokens is a huge win for them.

It’s like not keeping junk food in your house so when you are hungry you don’t reach for the junk food.
Also, if you don’t want to use social media or watch YouTube, you can save battery life on a smaller screen, gain durability, and carry a lower weight phone.

(LM)Arena is basically this. IMO it’s the best benchmark that avoids benchmaxxing

Currently Fable and 5.6 are neck and neck on web dev which is basically the same finding as this.
