By

Today we are rolling out service tiers in the Gemini API! You can now (optionally) set "flex" or "priority". In the case of flex, this will save you ~50% on API costs (with lower reliability). In the case of priority, this will cost ~80% more but give you higher priority!

Fixing Problems by Changing Reality Instead of Software
By

at google this was known as "buying the gnome". there's like a billion tweets about this already but basically the story goes back in like 2005 or something they were building out their shopping search system, and it was working pretty well. except for the fact that if you searched for sneakers, the top result was a garden gnome. engineers were going crazy trying to fix the ranking bug, but eventually someone noticed that the gnome listing was on ebay, and there was only one of them, and it cost like $50. so they just bought the gnome and suddenly the listing was gone, problem solved. why bother fixing software issues when you can just change the world to fit your software instead? Tenobrus (@tenobrus) if you're about to release a model that you know has the ability to reveal zerodays in every commonly used open source project you could delay release for a few years or spend another ten billion on alignment RL. or you could just secretly fix all the zerodays yourself first. — https://nitter.net/tenobrus/status/2039744655856939150#m

Really excited for this launch of Gemma 4 from @demishassabis and the DeepMind team. Open source models are a key front for the west to have a lead on and this is a very key addition to the effort. Excited to see what developers in SV and around the world can build using this. Demis Hassabis (@demishassabis) Excited to launch Gemma 4: the best open models in the world for their respective sizes. Available in 4 sizes that can be fine-tuned for your specific task: 31B dense for great raw performance, 26B MoE for low latency, and effective 2B & 4B for edge device use – happy building! — https://nitter.net/demishassabis/status/2039736628659269901#m
