I think your argument is basically that Google has the potential to create the best models because of superiority in the theory of LLMs, even though we hear of no signs from the board, the ceo, or beta releases or product showcases.

But let’s say you’re right. When do you think we would experience the supremacy of DeepMind in our daily lives?

Surely Google can find another team of code monkeys to whip out a frontend if there is money to be made.

I don't think Google is going to pull back from making some more money.

I think the most likely option is that they have a bunch of talented academics who get paid on time to work on what interest them - but they're the stereotypical large inefficient company and they can't coordinate the effort of productionizing some cool models before the competition.

It's the same issue with paid models.

I am paying per each request sent to Google Generative AI and this is what I get: https://i.ibb.co/4KCmz55/bard1.png

And then, given that, why is it worse than the competition?
