jp7189 ..and here I thought most of OpenAI's first mover advantages had been eroded by everyone else catching up. I really look for any excuse to not use Google products, but most times when I run the same task against multiple models, Google is coming out ahead since 3.0 and now even more so with 3.1. Thats said, for local models, I'll take OpenAI's OSS all day everyday against Google's Gemma. Heck for specific tasks, there's probably a llama3 for that. That model is so versatile and trainable. I dont think any of that is attracting investment dollar though. Reply

I dont think any of that is attracting investment dollar though. I've heard you can run Google's translator locally on their phones. If you were out of the reach of their servers, in a place like a subway or out in the country and didn't have starlink. Maybe some of their camera enhancements can also be run locally? If cloud based AI starts using a subscription model this could throw a monkey wrench in that. Google sneaking in on some exclusivity. I'm guessing the consumer market for AI services will be mostly in the mobile market and I don't see OpenAI doing well there. Reply
